Person, Place or Thing is coming to first-run syndication this fall. The new game show, hosted by Melissa Peterman (Young Sheldon), is a modern take on 20 questions where contestants ask yes or no questions to get their partner to reveal an item.
Produced by Fox First Run, the new show has been sold in 90% of the country. It will debut in 161 markets on Fox-owned stations as well as on stations in the Sinclair, Nexstar Media Group, Gray Television, E.W. Scripps, and Tegna groups.
Fox First Run produces other syndicated programs like 25 Words or Less, Dish Nation, Divorce Court, Pictionary, TMZ, TMZ Live, and You Bet Your Life with Jay Leno.
Peterman said the following about the new series, per Broadcasting & Cable:
“I’m excited to return to working with Stephen Brown and the team at Fox on a game show that is truly for everyone. This is 20 Questions for the 21st century, with twists and turns that will keep people guessing. I promise that viewers will be shouting answers at the TV from home, but I can’t promise we’ll hear them. I can’t wait to get started.”
Stephen Brown, executive VP of programming and development for Fox First Run and Fox Television Stations, said, “I’ve been trying to get Melissa to host one of our game shows for years. Her upbeat energy and comic timing work perfectly on Person, Place or Thing.”
Creators Jeff Proctor and Paul Franklin also spoke about bringing the game show to syndication:
“We came together to create something fun, familiar, and lighthearted that the entire family can enjoy. Partnering with former colleagues at Fox First Run and adding Melissa as the ideal host to make viewers laugh and want to play along will make this show a hit.”
