Fox Sets NAME THAT TUNE Revival

NAME THAT TUNE is returning to television, with a 2021 Fox revival.

The series, created by Harry Salter, is a one-hour game show that “tests contestants’ music knowledge, as they battle it out in an assortment of challenging musical games for cash and prizes.” Jane Krakowski will host the NAME THAT TUNE revival, with AMERICAN IDOL’s Randy Jackson serving as the band leader.

“We’re thrilled to bring the iconic musical game show NAME THAT TUNE back to television with this updated revival. It’s been beloved the world over for decades and we can’t wait for a new generation of families to get to play along with the classic series at home,” said Rob Wade, President, Alternative Entertainment & Specials, FOX Entertainment, in a statement. “With the captivating Jane Krakowski as host alongside band leader Randy Jackson the Big Dawg himself, this surely will be a harmonious pairing.”

According to Fox, “each one-hour episode of NAME THAT TUNE is comprised of two stand-alone half-hour contests, each pitting two players against each other as they race against the clock to test their knowledge of songs, performed by the live band. Each contest features a rotating variety of games from the original format, before the iconic Bid-a-Note round. The player with the most money at the end of Bid-a-Note wins the game and takes his or her bank into the Golden Medley bonus round, for a chance to win additional cash and potentially the $100,000 grand prize.”

Watch the first teaser for the show, which will debut in January…
