Will The Wall have another season or a new host? Deadline reports NBC is assessing the status of the TV show’s third season in light of recent sexual abuse accusations against host Chris Hardwick.
The game show centers on pairs of players as they pursue a cash prize of up to $12 million by answering a series of trivia questions. NBC renewed the series for a third season back in March.
As reported earlier, AMC has already pulled Hardwick’s Talking series after a recent essay by his ex-girlfriend, Chloe Dykstra, accused the host of years of sexual and emotional abuse. Now, NBC is taking time to “assess” Hardwick’s position on The Wall, saying they take “allegations of misconduct very seriously.”
Read NBC’s full statement below:
These allegations about Chris Hardwick took us by surprise as we have had a positive working relationship with him. However, we take allegations of misconduct very seriously. Production on The Wall does not begin until September, and in the meantime we are continuing to assess the situation and will take appropriate action based on the outcome.”
What do you think? Have you seen The Wall? Do you think NBC should find a new host?
Since when is a private relationship with an ex girlfriend misconduct at work?
There’s really no way to prove this but even so I think she is just trying to get attention and ruin his credibility because she’s mad he’s doing so well. There’s been a lot of “sexual misconduct” accusations lately about a lot of famous or rich people. These people claiming it want fame and money. Keep Chris. He’s a great host of The Wall.
You two don’t even know if these “facts” are even true. Guess you wouldn’t care if I accused you and people avoided you without knowing whether it happened even…but are ready to change host.just wait and stop jumping the gun. You two belong in Hollywood since y’all easily throw people away
Give it another week, out country will forget all about it, and be butthurt over something else.
Time to find a new host ~
I think NBC should find a new host.
