As previously announced, LeVar Burton will host Trivial Pursuit, which will feature a "dramatic finale against the clock" to claim the big money jackpot."

Raven-Symone has been tapped to host Scrabble, where "wordsmiths battle it out over a series of addictive word games of skill and strategy to win points and master a giant Scrabble board in the center of the set."


That whole fall schedule looks like what 11-year-old me would have created if asked to build a TV schedule from scratch -- a night of game shows, two hours of wrestling, random sports, etc.

Wasn't it announced that Whose Line would be canceled a while back? Or do they have enough segments saved up that they can still run new episodes?

I think 24-25 is the final season.

Not announced, per se.  More of a pretty outspoken statement by Colin Mochrie concerning credits and residuals.

Keep in mind that it's been common in the past to mine a taping for multiple episodes.  So what they taped last year could continue to be used for quite some time.

Or as it turns out, October (specifically October 7).
