ACTOR JOHN MICHAEL HIGGINS NAMED AS HOST OF GAME SHOW NETWORK’S NEW SURVEY-BASED SHOW, ‘AMERICA SAYS’ PREMIERING JUNE 18
New Half-Hour Daily Series Challenges Contestants to Match Survey Answers For a Chance at $15,000
SANTA MONICA, Calif. — Game Show Network, the leader in game shows and competitive entertainment, has added actor John Michael Higgins (“Great News,” “Pitch Perfect”) as host of its new survey-matching game show, AMERICA SAYS. The new half-hour series will premiere June 18 at 5 pm ET and will air Monday through Friday.
AMERICA SAYS is a fast-paced studio game show where two teams of friends and family face off to guess America’s responses with fill in the blanks to survey questions covering every topic under the sun. They’ll have to be quick when trying to think of what America says, as time is always ticking and the team with the most money banked after three rounds will head to a bonus round to see if they can guess even more survey responses to win up to $15,000.
Recognized for his iconic roles in films like “Pitch Perfect,” “The Break-Up” and “Best In Show”, Higgins is also known for providing voices for characters in popular animated series “Bob’s Burgers” and Nickelodeon’s “The Legend of Korra.”
AMERICA SAYS is based on a format by Keller/Noll. John Quinn serves as executive producer. Tara Long and Mark Herwick of Entertainment One (eOne) and Dave Noll and Cleve Keller of Keller/Noll serve as executive producers.
What do you think? How do you like the sound of the America Says TV series? Do you plan to check it out when it debuts on GSN?
The set looks like game shows of old and it is basically Family Feud.
Are you sure the contestants are really friends? They seem a lot like actors.
I set up my DVR to record the show and like it much better than family feud. It gets raunchy and not even funny. By the way-How and where are the answers compiled on the board?
Just watched episode that asked question about your favorite fictional detective and one answer was Matlock. Matlock was not a detective but an attorney.
Love the show and I have been telling everyone about it.
Love the show told other people about it
Love America Says! It’s something you can actually watch with kids. So much better than Family Feud.
U need to o in a lil bit on the answers…
Very good show, 1000% better then Harvey,s fam Feud,we see to much of him hour after hour ,, and he thinks he is funny.there are a lot of more interesting shows…
Just watched this show for the first time.. It’s OK…but… The host has ZERO personality
I have watched the first few shows and my only complaint is that when the remaining answers are revealed by the host, it is often hard to hear and understand what is said. I would like to see the answers as they are revealed 0n the board.
Love the idea but why schedule it at dinner hour in Philadelphia area????
Cannot see any reason to watch America Says when I can watch Family Feud. Family Feud is 1,000% better!
Yes, if you like low-rent crude game shows. Richard Dawson would be disgusted at the joke Family Feud has become.
Steve Harvey is one of the funniest game show hosts on TV. And he looks like a million dollars every time he comes on stage. I believe Richard would be extremely proud of the new set, the comedy, and everything about the show. More money, cars to win … again, Richard would be proud.
AMEN!!! A 10 year old Family Feud is better than this loser!
Can’t wait to check this show out! Love Higgins in Pitch Perfect
I like the show but I want to suggest a change. When you turn to read the board, the camera should show the board and the answers. It does not do that all the time.
People are better off watching Family Fued. This show will be 30 minutes of time wasted. There are some amazing, genuinely funny game shows like Game of Games or watch the Game Show on ABC, I forgot the name. It’s a neat concept but just a copy cat of other more reliable funny game shows.
This show is very entertaining and fun to play along with.
