CBS Brings Back Lingo This Summer; The Daily Show Adds to All-Star News Team
CBS announced the word-twisting game show Lingo, hosted and executive produced by Emmy Award winner RuPaul Charles, will return for its second season Friday, May 24 with two back-to-back episodes (8:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT). Following the premiere, the series will air in its regular time period Fridays (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network, and streaming on Paramount+ (live and on-demand for Paramount+ with SHOWTIME subscribers, or on-demand for Paramount+ Essential subscribers the day after the episode airs).
Lingo is the supercharged word-twisting, fast-thinking game show. Host RuPaul Charles brings his one-of-a-kind personality to this clever, competitive and unpredictable game where teams of two face off in fast-paced puzzle rounds to guess letters that reveal seemingly simple words. Brand new for season two is the twist where the winner for each one-hour episode, packed with witty commentary and gameplay, goes on to compete in the next episode, allowing for longer winning streaks and even bigger cash prizes.
On the heels of The Daily Show's huge ratings growth, Comedy Central's EMMY(R) Award-winning late-night franchise is expanding its All-Star News Team. The show enlists Troy Iwata, Josh Johnson, and Grace Kuhlenschmidt as Correspondents. They join the existing roster of all-star Correspondents and Contributors making up the Best News Team in Late Night including Ronny Chieng, Desi Lydic, Jordan Klepper, and Michael Kosta, along with Dulcé Sloan and Lewis Black.
Jon Stewart will continue to host every Monday night through the 2024 election cycle, while the News Team will share hosting duties Tuesdays-Thursdays. The award-winning late-night staple will continue to expand and build on its legacy of election coverage, visiting key states and both conventions, bringing different perspectives and deep-diving on a wide range of issues. The Daily Show airs weeknights at 11:00 p.m. ET/PT on Comedy Central and is available the following morning on Paramount+, CC.com and the CC App. Tickets can be requested for free at dailyshowtickets.com.
