Despite the blue-collar comedian serving as a respectable host of the 2011 version, the one-season revival was disappointing and unnecessarily dumbed-down, considering the format was already easy and simple enough for anyone to play. Their first revival aired about nine years ago with the 2011 Bill Engvall reboot of Lingo in an attempt to replicate the success of the show’s original five-season run from 2002-2007.
This marks the second time in the cable network’s 26-year history that Game Show Network has revived a series from its own library of original programming.
