The Dating Game is coming back to ABC!
New Girl star Zooey Deschanel and soft rock musician Michael Bolton, known for his hits like When a Man Loves a Woman and How Am I Supposed To Live Without You will host the reboot. The eight-part series will bring back the classic dating format but with a celebrity spin.
The Celebrity Dating Game will be a twist on modern dating with a panel of celebrity singles who are in search for love. The celebrity guests will be anonymous as one lucky single is chosen from a hidden panel of three bachelors and/ or bachelorettes. The singles will get the chance to guess the secret celebrity’s identity based on the the questions, clues and parody performances from host Bolton. Bolton was an internet sensation after his SNL parody Jack Sparrow with The Lonely Island.
The Dating Game was created by Chuck Barris and originally aired on ABC between 1965 and 1973.
