Turner has announced a premiere date for the new seasons of unscripted series "Snoop Dogg Presents The Joker’s Wild" and "Drop the Mic", confirming that both TBS shows will move to sister TNT.

Both are set to return January 23, and will encore the following night on TBS, their previous home.




According to Turner, the move to TNT will help pair each series with TNT’s sports audience this time of year, attracted by the network’s NBA coverage.

"Drop the Mic" has featured notable athletes such as Shaquille O’Neal, Rob Gronkowski, Michael Bennett and Odell Beckham Jr.

"Snoop Dogg Presents The Joker’s Wild" has also featured several athletes including Antonio Brown, Julian Edelman and Dana White, in addition to cameos by Michael Strahan who is an executive producer on the show.




It is unclear whether the move is part of a bigger strategic shift at TNT and TBS following Time Warner’s acquisition by AT&T, which has prioritized HBO and the new WarnerMedia streaming platform.

"Snoop Dogg Presents The Joker’s Wild" and "Drop the Mic" were the only unscripted series currently on TNT or TBS. They fit into TBS’ comedy- centric brand.

Im sorry but as a viewer of the original shows my response to these "new" game shows is :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

How Snoop Dogg's version of The Joker's Wild continues to remain on the air is something i'll never figure out and I cannot believe a classic game show has gotten ruined and turned into a mess with adult questions and adult humor. I bet if the original host of the original The Joker's Wild was still alive today he would be shocked at what Snoop Dogg has done to The Joker's Wild. Drop The Mic is another game show that I don't think it would be considered a game show because I do not know how in the world it became a hit. The only reason why I think Drop The Mic has been a hit is because James Corden produces it and I why TNT decided to add Drop The Mic and Snoop Dogg's The Joker's Wild to their lineup is because TNT happens to be the sister of TBS and TNT has never had any game shows and while TBS is now a sitcom focused channel I think TNT chose to add these two game shows is because of money reasons

If memory serves me correctly, That Might be a easy move for Turner Broadcasting because Snoop Dogg version of The Jokers Wild & Drop the Mic could may help attract NBA on TNT’s audiences.
