TV show description:
A revival of the classic game show, the Password TV series is a word guessing competition that is based on a television format that debuted in 1961. The original was hosted by Allen Ludden, the eventual husband of frequent player Betty White.
In the game, contestants from across the country and all walks of life are partnered with celebrities to face off in the ultimate game of words. In addition to new contestants, players from the 1980s versions will return to see if they still have what it takes.
Celebrity/contestant duos compete for cash prizes by guessing a secret password using just one-word clues. The fewer clues needed, the more points are earned by a team. The first team to reach 15 points wins a round and the celebrities switch contestants after the first round. For the third round, the contestants compete directly against one another to be the first to guess a password as five clues are revealed one by one. The contestant that wins two of the three rounds moves on to the bonus round.
In this part of the game, the contestant gives each of the two celebrities word clues in two 30-second rounds. The goal is for them to guess a total of 10 passwords beginning with consecutive letters of the alphabet (A through J, for example). For every correct answer, the contestant wins $1,000. If they get all 10 passwords, they take home $25,000.

What do you think? Do you like the Password TV show? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for another season?
Please continue the series with leek and Jimmy it is hilarious
Love the new password show with Jimmy Fallon and Kicki. It is so much fun to watch. We need shows like this. I hope it continues.
Why do the staff on Password wear masks but not contestants and audience ?
I smile the whole time I’m watching. So disappointed it’s ending.
KeeKee Palmer is a beautiful, funny and quick witted. Jimmy Fallon is hilarious as always
Love the show
I love Password. I think the host is great! It’s fun to watch. Please keep it on.
I think this format is made to cheat. Jimmy is directing it and yet his team is always winning it seems. I think there is something wrong with this one. Shame cause I used to like it.
I do not care for this format. Keke is too chatty and there is no need for host to say “that is not the password” and repeat the word guessed seconds after it is spoken. I watch the original show on Buzzer TV regularly and it is still engaging & entertaining. I will not be watching.
Host lacks public speaking skills. Her slang language is too diff to understand …too much funny stuff going on! Need to start over with staffing.
In the earlier Password during the alphabet guessing the announcer says the letter the contestant/celebrity are working on. Feel both contestant and celebrity get confused. Would help if letter were announced quietly.
cheating, when giving clues, wont watch again. fallon knows how to stretch the rules.
agreed he knows too much and him team seems to win more.
I LOVE THE NEW PASSWORD GAME!! Watched it and played many versions of the ho me games with family. Please keep it going.
Don’t like New format
I loved this show. It was so funny and entertaining. BRAVO!!!!
Keep it going
