Jaleel White-Hosted Show ‘The Flip Side’ Headed To CBS Fall 2024

Jaleel White‘s The Flip Side is set to debut on CBS Stations in the fall of 2024, Deadline reports. White is set to host the game show for the network. The outlet details that local CBS affiliates will ultimately decide when the show airs. But, as of now, The Flip Side is eyeing to run during the daytime. 

CBS describes The Flip Side as a fresh, innovative take on the standard game show format. CBS’ new show will see two teams face off as they’re tested on how differing groups of people think about a topic or issue. Whichever team proves they better understand human behavior and intuition will win that round. 

Wendy McMahon, president and CEO of CBS News and Stations and CBS Media Ventures, spoke about the new show in a press release. McMahon insisted that consistent viewership across CBS’ other game shows has proven that audiences want more.

“Game shows have been a bright spot in syndication and network prime-time the last few years,” McMahon said. “Their loyal viewers tune in more times per week than any other genre. We are excited to bring a fun concept, combined with the exceptional comedic skills of host Jaleel White, to the marketplace with The Flip Side. It’s a perfect addition to any station’s lineup with the flexibility to play in multiple time periods or a game show block.” 

White remembered his time as a contestant on shows like Celebrity Family Feud and 25 Words Or Less. He stated that his previous experience on these programs inspired him to want to become a game show host one day. 

“I have had fun being a celebrity contestant on numerous game shows, but I’ve always…wanted to be the host, giving people money and making their day!” White recalled. “When I first heard this concept, I immediately wanted to be the ringleader of this entertaining, funny game show where the only requirement is being in tune with human nature.”
