ABC will continue to entertain America with its Sunday games shows for one more year. The network announced that their “Sunday Fun & Games” would remain unchanged in 2019, with all three shows from this programming block getting renewals. Celebrity Family Feud was renewed for season five, while The $100,000 Pyramid and To Tell the Truth will both return for season four.
After an unsuccessful run in 2008 on NBC with Al Rooker as host, Celebrity Family Feud was revived in 2015 by ABC. The format of the show is the same as in the original Family Feud but features celebrity guests as contestants. Steve Harvey will continue to serve as host for both game shows next year as well. Renewing Celebrity Family Feud was an easy decision for ABC; considering the fact that the current season averages 6.7 million viewers.
The current version of The $100,000 Pyramid began its run in 2016, with former NFL player Michael Strahan serving as a host. Each episode has two contestants paired with celebrities competing for a prize of $100,000. This show also generates strong ratings for the network, with 5.4 million people tuning in on average.
Finally, the Anthony Anderson-hosted To Tell the Truth is also getting the green light for one more season. Since the show was reviewed in 2016, it has seen a healthy increase in ratings with each year.
