After five seasons, Name That Tune has a new bandleader. Will this change affect the FOX series’ ratings in some way? Will Name That Tune be cancelled or renewed for season seven? Stay tuned.
A music game show, this latest iteration of the Name That Tune series is hosted by Jane Krakowski, with Robin Thicke replacing Randy Johnson to lead the in-studio band. The sixth season once again features celebrities competing to make money for their favorite charities. The competition tests contestants’ music knowledge as they battle in various challenging musical games for cash and prizes. Each hour episode consists of two stand-alone half-hour contests. Two players play against each other as they race against the clock to test their knowledge of songs. Each contest features various games from the original format before the iconic Bid-a-Note round. The player with the most money at the end of Bid-a-Note wins the game and takes his or her bank into the Golden Medley bonus round. The player can win additional cash and potentially the $100,000 grand prize. Celebrity contestants include Ice-T, Tony Hawk, Thomas Lennon, D’Arcy Carden, Jason Fox, Billy Billingham, Brian Austin Green, Daphne Zuniga, Elle King, Chrishell Stause, Christina Milian, Luann de Lesseps, Carlos Boozer, and Phaedra Parks.
