Niecy Nash, fresh from her guest stint hosting "The Masked Singer", will front a reboot of "Don’t Forget the Lyrics!" for Fox. The network has ordered a new version of the game show/singing competition format to launch during the 2021-22 season.
The show originally aired on Fox between 2007-09 with host Wayne Brady and later moved into syndication with Sugar Ray frontman Mark McGrath.
“Whether it’s tapping a toe to keep rhythm, humming a melody or outright singing along, music is one thing that is universally appealing. Don’t Forget the Lyrics! wraps everything about why people love, enjoy and treasure music into one big, fun, high-energy and high-stakes show,” said Rob Wade, President of Alternative Entertainment and Specials, Fox Entertainment.
“Niecy Nash is one of the most talented, beloved and spirited people in the business. She’s been a dear friend to Fox for many years, most recently on The Masked Singer, and we are so happy to keep her on our air next season with Don’t Forget the Lyrics!”
“I’m so excited to be part of the DFTL family,” added Nash.
“I love music and I’m happy to be involved in a show that gives people an opportunity to win life-changing amounts of money.”
