ABC & Alec Baldwin Bring Back Match Game

LOS ANGELES: Match Game, produced by FremantleMedia North America (FMNA), will make its return to prime time this summer on ABC, with a new series hosted by Alec Baldwin.

Match Game is a panel game show that features two contestants as they attempt to match the answers of six celebrities in a game of “fill in the missing blank.” Baldwin will serve as an executive producer, alongside FMNA’s Jennifer Mullin. The ten-episode series will air at 10 p.m. starting June 26 as part of ABC’s Sunday Fun & Games block.

“I am beyond grateful to ABC and FremantleMedia for the chance to host a summer series of the legendary Match Game,” said Baldwin. “Hilaria and I are thrilled to donate this fee to arts-related charities. And we look forward to having a lot of fun.”

Mullin, co-CEO of FremantleMedia North America, said, “Match Game is one of the crown jewels in our portfolio, and we’re thrilled to be bringing it to viewers in prime time. The team at ABC continue to be a terrific partner for us as we expand our game show slate, and with the charismatic and quick-witted Alec Baldwin as our host, Match Game has all the right elements to be a fun and entertaining summer staple.”
