CBS Revives KIDS SAY THE DARNDEST THINGS

KIDS SAY THE DARNDEST THINGS, hosted and executive produced by Tiffany Haddish, has been picked up by CBS. (The series had a brief run on ABC.)

“I see my role as giving kids a safe environment where they can say anything they want with complete freedom and no judgement,” said Haddish in a statement. “What I love about this show is that we let kids truly be themselves. I’m the straight man here, and that’s fine with me.”

“Few things have more universal appeal and humor than the unfiltered honesty of a child, and the comedic genius of Tiffany Haddish takes that to the next level. It’s great to have KIDS SAY back on CBS and part of our expanding alternative slate for 2021,” said Mitch Graham, Senior Vice President, Alternative Programming, CBS Entertainment.

According to CBS, “the family-friendly series is based on a classic segment that originated on CBS Radio in 1945 when famed radio host Art Linkletter interviewed children during his show HOUSE PARTY. Beginning in 1952 and running through 1969, ART LINKLETTER’S HOUSE PARTY was broadcast on the Network and included the popular panel with kids. The Network then aired an update of KIDS SAY THE DARNDEST THINGS from 1998-2000.”
