What do you think? Will you watch this special? Did you watch the early episodes of this game show?
It’s disappointing that it is on so late. Many older people loved this show but will not stay up that late, and don’t have dvr’s for recording. Sad.
Yes!! I loved that game show!!! Jeapardy is so fast and more difficult so this was the only other trivia game show. Jimmy is funny, hoping it becomes a regular show with or without celebrities!
YES!! I am really looking forward to this event. I was a HUGE fan of the original, with Reegge as host.
No won’t watch show. Celebs are to in love with themselves. They’re just trying to find ways to make money and be relevant. Questions are always easier for celebs on any show.
None of those celebrities will win a million dollars anyway. Also, I cannot stand Jimmy Kimmel.
I will not watch anything with Jane Fonda.We are a military family
Will not watch with Jimmy Kimmel as host. I liked the original show but Jimmy Kimmel Has said some very hateful things so I will not watch.
You are not being forced to watch.
