Last year, Jamie Foxx was forced to take the season off from Beat Shazam due to him suffering an undisclosed medical complication.
Now that he is recovered, he and his daughter, Corinne, are back hosting the Fox game show in May.
“Jamie and Corinne are the heart and soul of Beat Shazam,” said Allison Wallach, FOX Entertainment’s President of Unscripted Entertainment. “As our undeniably dynamic father-daughter hosting team, they bring a relationship like no other to a show like no other, and it’s wonderful having them back on set this season.”
The musical game show debuts on May 28th.
UPDATE: Fox announced when six other shows will debut this summer. To see what and when, then
Fox is announcing return and premiere dates for the summer 2024 slate of original programming, including I Can See Your Voice (May 16), Don’t Forget The Lyrics (May 16), Gordon Ramsay’s Food Stars (May 22), Beat Shazam (May 28), The Quiz With Balls (May 28), MasterChef (May 29) and Name That Tune (June 3). Additional summer programming to be announced.
Following Beat Shazam is new game The Quiz with Balls (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) pitting brains against balls, while combining a high-stakes quiz show with a large-scale physical competition. Hosted by actor and comedian Jay Pharoah (SNL, The Blackening) each episode of The Quiz with Balls features two families competing for $100,000 in a “battle of the balls.” Standing on a high platform over a glistening pool, they must all work together as they face a multiple-choice quiz where each answer is allocated to a spot with a giant ball positioned up behind it. If the correct answer is chosen, the ball rolls down and stops just before colliding with the player… if the answer is wrong, the massive ball rapidly descends and mercilessly whacks them into the pool below. The more players each team loses, the harder the questions get. The longer they last, the more money they bank, until one “dry” family member plays the final round for The Quiz with Balls’ $100,000 Grand Prize.
