For over 20 years, Kelly Ripa has hosted a syndicated daytime series which is produced by Disney-ABC Domestic Television. Her Hope & Faith sitcom lasted for three seasons on the alphabet network before being cancelled. How long will her newest venture, the Generation Gap game show, run? Will this ABC show be cancelled or renewed for season three? Stay tuned.
A comedy quiz show, the Generation Gap TV series, hosted by Kelly Ripa, draws inspiration from segments seen on Jimmy Kimmel Live! and the 1969 game show, The Generation Gap. The show features a competition between two teams, each consisting of a teen or preteen and a senior citizen, typically a grandchild and grandparent. The teams participate in five rounds of pop culture challenges specific to their generations, earning money for correct answers. At the end, one team emerges as the winner, and the players get to keep the money they’ve earned. As a bonus, the youngest member of the winning team’s family is invited for a segment called “Toddler’s Choice,” where they can choose between a luxurious prize or a more appealing reward suitable for a young child.
