GSN Renews American Bible Challenge

SANTA MONICA: GSN has ordered a third season of The American Bible Challenge, which is its highest rated original series of all time.

The one-hour game show is hosted by comedian Jeff Foxworthy. It features contestants being tested on their knowledge of the Bible. Foxworthy is on board for season three, as is musical co-host Kirk Franklin. There are nine new episodes coming for the third season, which will launch in 2014.

“We are proud of the breakthrough success of this atypical series,” said Amy Introcaso-Davis, the executive VP of programming and development at GSN. “The American Bible Challenge is GSN’s flagship show that appeals to everyone in the family. This series, along with recent hits Minute To Win It and The Chase, serves as the foundation from which we will build on and double our programming efforts in the next year.”

Tom Forman, the CEO of Relativity Television, added, “Sometimes a show perfectly hits that sweet spot of exciting competition blended with real heart, and that’s the story of The American Bible Challenge. Our TV and online fans can look forward to another fantastic ride in our third season.”

Foxworthy commented, “I am happy the show has been received so well and through it we have been able to help many people that are in need.”
