Alan Carr's Epic Gameshow is a British game show which premiered 30 May 2020 on ITV. Hosted by Alan Carr, the series features reworked and 'supersized' versions of past ITV game shows (primarily from the Fremantle library), with each featuring a new 'epic endgame'.
Gameshow is a fantastically entertaining podcast hosted by the effortlessly lovable Jo Firestone and the hilariously dry Manolo Moreno. Together this unlikely pair traverse the silly and often confusing world of fan-submitted game shows to bring you something truly unique and absolutely charming. In this game show, contestants answer trivia questions and then compete in a timed race through the supermarket. The team that has the most valuable items in their shopping cart at.
For the first series, seven episodes were ordered, including a celebrity Play Your Cards Right special and a Christmas episode of The Price is Right.[1][2][3]
In December 2020, it was announced that the series would be renewed for a second series which consists of 11 episodes, 8 standard episodes with two celebrity editions that would air weekly, and 3 specials that will air later in the year. Alongside the previous five shows, Name That Tune would be added to the selection.[4][5]
