NBC is doing a little fall schedule shuffling, moving the premiere of its game show revival Weakest Link back by a day, adding a second night of Dateline NBC and making a few other minor tweaks.
The Jane Lynch-hosted Weakest Link now will premiere at 8 p.m. Tuesday, September 29; it had been set to bow the night before. The show will air in that slot for three weeks until moving to 10 p.m. Mondays starting October 19, following The Voice.
Co-produced by BBC Studios’ Los Angeles production arm and Universal Television Alternative Studio, the new version of the hybrid game show sees contestants answer general knowledge questions to bank prize money across multiple rounds. At the end of each round, the contestants vote out who they perceive to be the “Weakest Link” remaining. The original run of Weakest Link on NBC launched on April 16, 2001.
The network also said its true-crime stalwart Dateline NBC will air twice a week for a month this fall. It will run at 10 p.m. Fridays starting September 25, as previously announced, and also air original episodes at 10 p.m. Mondays from September 21-October 12 following American Ninja Warrior.
Watch on Deadline
NBC also said today that the Season 4 premiere of Ellen’s Game of Games will air from 9-10 p.m. on Tuesday, October 6 and the season finale of America’s Got Talent is set for 9-11 p.m. Wednesday, September 23.
JANE YOU CAN BE VERY DISANPOINET ALL YOU WANT I LIKE ANN ROBISON DOING IT SHE BETTER THAN YOU AND SHE IS FUNNY PLUS I WOULD RATTER WATCH JANE JETSON THEN YOU
I HOPE THIS SHOW IS CANCELED TOO I NOT GONNA WATCH IT IF YOU WANNA WATCH IT SICK TO THE RERUNS
There is enough mean spiritedness in this world without a game show with this attitude. Jane Lynch’s demeanor is not fun and has the same effect as “You’re Fired”. I don’t plan on watching anything demeaning – the world has had enough.
BRING BRICK ANN ROBSION PLEASE WE DON’T NEED THIS PERSON OR ANY MORE TRASH TV
JANE LYNCH YOU ARE THE WEAKEST LINK GOODBYE
PLEASE VOTE HER OFF
AND BRING BACK ANN ROBSION
