A reimagining of the classic 1950s TV game show "I’ve Got A Secret" is in the works.

Sony Pictures Television’s Embassy Row, Werner Entertainment and Game Show Enterprises Studios, GSN’s production arm, have teamed to produce the pilot for a potential series, hosted by Katie Nolan (Friday Night Baseball), that will be available for network and syndication.




In the hour-long part game show and part comedic talk show, four celebrity panelists will try and figure out each contestant’s “secret,” drawn from pop culture both past and present, by asking them a series of yes or no questions.

Nolan will keep an eye on the panelists as they unravel each secret – sometimes playing the role of referee and other times acting more like a ringleader. Contestants win a cash prize if they stump the panel.

Celebrity panelists for the pilot include comedians Nikki Glaser, Colton Dunn, Cristela Alonso and Matteo Lane.

As soon as I saw Nikki Glaser's name I knew this would be awful. Hard pass!

I am an old coot. I have seen modern celebrities on modern game shows, and without even seeing the pilot, I can assure you that on “Secret” it’ll be “all about them.”

Just simple views of the panel shows of the 50s and 60s will tell you that the GAME is the star, and the panel is there to complement (<—note the spelling) the contestants.

This holds especially true for the 50s/60s “What’s My Line?” The panel dressed to the nines, and had class that modern celebs couldn’t sniff.

I agree with you. Instead of hard pass this is easy pass on this show. Certain celebrities need to tone down their personalities for some, grate on you.
