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.”

Don't Forget The Lyrics? Ain't that the game show Wayne Brady had before hosting LMAD on CBS and then Mark McGrath hosted it in syndication? I remember it well because many people thought it was a rip-off of NBC's The Singing Bee but better. What a surprise that Don't Forget The Lyrics is getting revived for a third try because I think music game shows are gonna make a comeback to TV for a new generation because with the success of Name That Tune and Meet Shazam I think FOX is trying to bring back music based game shows to TV and this show might become part of a new lineup of music game shows. What's the next revival Musical Chairs with Billy Joel replacing Adam Wade?
