The Weakest Link is back in the US, even if it's for a short time this time, and back on NBC, which took a chance nearly 20 years ago. Jane Lynch (Hollywood Game Night, ex-Glee) takes over as series host this time around. The game is the same. 8 contestants must join forces to build a bank that could net up to a million dollars, but one by one, the players are eliminated until only one remains.
Here's a trailer for the 2020 edition:
NBC has placed Link on Tuesdays this time, hoping to generate enough ratings and viewer interest to warrant bringing it back. One thing we know, you can't gauge changing viewer tastes, so we'll see how this plays out.
Rating: A.
No Anne Robinson? Next you're going to tell me that they rebooted Press Your Luck with some Hollywood actress as host. Or that they found an ex-Saturday Night Live star to bring back Supermarket Sweep.
ReplyDeleteHar-de-har-har, Chuck. They added to Jimmy Kimmel's workload by giving him Who Wants to be a Millionaire? last year. It could be that Anne might not be available this time, due to COVID and all that. They also rebooted Card Sharks with Joel McHale last year, and that is just now returning. It's network marketing 2020.
