Comedian and soon-to-be-newlywed Sherri Shepherd has just signed on for her second season as host of GSN’s hit show, The Newlywed Game. The new season of the daily strip show will premiere in April and will comprise 130 episodes. Shepherd’s wedding to TV writer Lamar Sally will take place in August in Chicago. The new season of The Newlywed Game will premiere on Monday, April 18, on GSN.
“Now that I’m going to be a newlywed myself, I am especially excited to start my second season of The Newlywed Game,” says Shepherd. “I’ve always had a great time with the couples on the show, but I have a feeling I’m going to relate to them in a whole new way!”
Sherri Shepherd is part of a GSN talent roster that includes Drew Carey, Wendy Williams, Bill Engvall, Jerry Springer and Carrie Ann Inaba.
The Newlywed Game is GSN’s modern installment of the classic series showcasing three newly married couples of wide-ranging backgrounds who face off in a series of question rounds. During each round, a spouse attempts to guess his or her mate’s answer to questions about their relationship, ranging from the first time they met to the details of their love life. At the end of the game, the couple scoring the most points wins exciting prizes.
