Tom Cavanagh to Host "Hey Yahoo!" for Game Show Network

Actor-director Tom Cavanagh is into gaming now — specifically, one that involves what you are searching for on Yahoo these days.

The star from "Ed" and "The Flash" is set to host "Hey Yahoo!", a new show for the Game Show Network that’s set to premiere early this summer.




The half-hour game features two teams of three players which compete to guess what millions of people are searching for on Yahoo. Contestants are given the first half of a search, and then have to fill in the blank based on what they think America is searching for.

For each correct answer, the dollar value of that answer is added to the team’s bank. At the end of three rounds of play, the team with the most money wins and will go on to the bonus round for a chance to add an extra $10,000 to their winnings.




“With Hey Yahoo! we’re bringing together friends and family to fill in the blank with a modern twist, based on the billions of searches a year happening on Yahoo Search,” said Cavanagh.

“Game Show Network and I invite you to join the search and share the fun.”

Sounds dumb, I would rather see a 2nd season of Samantha Harris hosted Tug of Words. Of course that won't happen with them treating it like crap and getting banished to 8AM. :mad:

I bet Google wanted too much in royalties. :lol:

The singing Yahoo guy is cool. But Tom Cavanagh is a horrible host.

This production of the show seems like it was AI-generated. It borrows from other shows GSN is producing (Chain Reaction, America Says), and the structure and presentation right down to the $10,000 grand prize, seems to follow some template GSN originals have these days.
Not the worst GSN original by any means, but I’m scratching my head asking why it was greenlit.
