Regis Philbin To Host Million Dollar Password
Posted by David Onda Categories: Games, Prime Time, CBS, Talent, Editorial, News
Variety is reporting that Regis Philbin has signed on with CBS to host a million-dollar version of the hit ’60s gameshow Password. The new series will be called Million Dollar Password and will, as the title suggests, offer a million dollar grand prize. Six episodes have been ordered and will begin airing later this season. The show will combine elements of three incarnations of the Password game – Password, Password Plus and, yes, Super Password. But I think we can all agree that any host is better than Burt Convey.
