GSN Orders "Baggage" Spin-off with Host Jerry Springer
by The Deadline Team
September 16, 2014
GSN announced today a 20-episode order of "Baggage on the Road", a half-hour comedic dating game show, with "Baggage" host Jerry Springer to return for the iteration.
The network describes it as a "traveling version" of "Baggage".
It will travel to four U.S. cities, beginning with Austin and Baton Rouge in October for a 2015 premiere.
Contestants choose from three potential partners, all of whom come with their own quirky, annoying and sometimes truly shocking physical and emotional “baggage” that could eliminate them from the competition.
With Springer at the helm, contestants will be required to reveal the various intimate secrets and hidden flaws – housed inside literal suitcases – that typically aren’t revealed on a first date.
Eventually, only one suitor will win a date with the contestant, as long as that person can also accept the contestant’s baggage in a final role-reversal round.
