I sure hope it is true, and in recent years some things were mentioned as, "coming soon," but not coming out at all. In 2014/2015, TDC Games, (the company mentioned earlier as having released a home game of "STUDS,") was supposed to release a full-size board game version of "Hollywood Game Night," and later a game based on the HGN sub-game, "Four Letter Words." Neither was released most likely because TDC Games filed for bankruptcy protection (TDC has since been bought out by another game maker). You'll see that TDC put a slogan on their "Four Letter Words" prototype box that seemed to fit the bankruptcy situation right on:

This year there were some rumors that a home version of "The Wall," was coming to the U.S. After addressing the possibility of a version (from Ravensburger), no rep from the company was able to confirm anything. They have versions in Germany, Italy, and France; but no U.S. game!

Just a few hours ago, the 2019 Fall Toy Preview in Dallas, TX began. While searching for online magazine reports, I found a section called "Brand Profile," in TFE (Toys and Family Entertainment) Magazine. It was about Nickelodeon's new version of "Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader."
The final paragraph began with the quote: "Following the show's successful launch this past summer, we began working with our games licensee to bring the new version of the board game to retailers later this fall, in time for the holidays."
No word as to whom the game is being made by, but, boy, there were four earlier board games; two based on the original series by Hasbro, one based on the syndicated edition from Patch Products, and one based on Foxworthy's second FOX network series from Hasbro.

Earlier, I'd mentioned games based on ones played on The Tonight Show, Starring Jimmy Fallon. Now Hasbro has also launched three games based on selected games featured on the Ellen show and her Game of Games. They are:

Sometimes I am amused to see just how far I am outside of the market for a particular party game.
These three land somewhere in Baltimore. :)
