“Weakest Link” returns 9/29 with new Host, Jane Lynch

I love the way she says “Goodbye.”

I'd prefer Lea Michele.

Poor Jane. Another game show host gig? She needs a better agent. Kate McKinnon must be writing the SNL sketch as I type.

Has Jane found love again?

It is a fit. Perfect for that sad woman who made the original show.

Morag did it in Oz.

Didn’t Americans complain Anne Robinson was too mean and several cried about being humiliated and scarred for life? That’s the difference with British audiences who mainly signed up for the insults.

They’re bringing all the old shows back because they have no new ideas and they know there’s already a solid fan base who has nostalgia for them.

Jane is a mean bitch. This is what she deserves. Hosting dumbass game shows.

Hi Alec Baldwin! (R9)

It premieres tonight!!!

Has she become the go-to dyke?

It’s on now

Omg. The only cute guy is first to go. I’m pissed

This is the best she can get. Another lesbian hosting a game show.

Without Anne Robinson there is no point.

She’s probably getting paid a lot to do this. It’s not a loss

R12, I've been there.

Funny coincidence, I just saw Nancy Kulp as the owner of a neurotic dog on an episode of the Joey Bishop show this morning

That our flew by so fast, and although Jane's faux- serious hosting act was not as intense as the original host, she did a pretty good job.

R20, Jane is determined to be the last surviving cast member of "Glee".

Anyone watching tonight? A gay was the first to go.

I miss Anne Robinson.

R22 served him right. What accountant dyes their hair pink?

They need to do a White House-COVID version ... the weakest link will be the first one to die.

Unwatchable shit!

I'm enjoying the show.

Jane is a good host. They need better contestants.

The castind department dropped the ball R28. they should contact all those Jeopardy contestants. They would do so well at trivia

Wow, is the average American really as stupid as these contestants? They must screen out smart people to make it more fun to watch.

The contestants are idiots, but Jane is aces. She can not really pull off "mean" but that is okay. She is really a great tv personality.

Just don't encourage her to sing.

The only episode of the original US run where the contestants actually did well was a Star Trek episode where cast members played for charity.

I think she nailed the Anne Robinson vibe but with better humor. I enjoyed it.

Tonight, there's a guy named Scott on it. He just reboots my phone. He pops my corn. He delivers my groceries. In short, he's hot. Get on it, DL! With looks like his, he's got nudes somewhere!

Scott was a hottie!

But the stoner dude who won tonight was adorable.

I've Googled several male contestants since this reboot started. There is definitely a queen in the casting office.

Agreed. And that queen has damned good taste!

Jane is really camping it up as host.

All of her "nasty" remarks are delivered in air quotes, and it's fun to watch.

She's going to win another Emmy for this, I predict.

R37, She's auditioning to be the new Jeopardy! host.

Who’s eating Jane’s snatch these days?

Scottie is a hottie.

A cute girl, a Lesbian, several cute gays guys and one ambiguous Asian bi-sexual accountant. I’m digging the shows vibe.

The Asian mentioned his buns...

The gay idiot Aaron was hard to watch

[quote]Who’s eating Jane’s snatch these days?

Well, I'veI never stopped. Don't tell my wife though. She's psychologically unstable and frightening.

Let her sing

Link to this Scott please. Was he the smart bartender?

Game shows are not enjoyable when the contestants are dumb.

How exactly are they screening these contestants?

Tonight's group were some of the dumbest in creation.

Tonight was a dreadful group of contestants each one dumber than the next.

When the gay guy didn't know the RAINBOW FLAG and instead said "The Pyramid" was the symbol of the gay community, you know this week was the episode where they put all the dumb contestants together. I could not believe that ending duel of stupidity. Both of those players should hang their head in shame. I laughed but man, were they dumb!

Jeez, that was the dumbest bunch of losers.

Also, it’s easier to run a virus-safe environment on a game show, where you can just space everyone ten feet apart.

I blame covid for this rash of game shows we’re seeing.

The ex-Army guy, Matt — the one with the man-bun flip, who was “flirting” with the black chick on tonight’s show — seemed pretty gay.

R53, That black chick was 6'5" with a huge butt.

That doughy guy who made it to the end was no Scott the Bartender.

This reboot is unwatchable. I tried last night and wow is it bad.

I actually think it's great, R56.

The questions are really good (even if the contestants sometimes aren't), and if you're into trivia, it's fun to play along.

I wish it aired more than one new episode a week. I don't normally care for game shows but I liked the original and really like this reboot.

Jane Lynch is also a much better host than Anne Robinson.

It is the exact same show as before. The only difference is the hostess.

RATS that Peter the security guard was the 2nd contestant sent home tonight. I was enjoying seeing him on my television screen.

Peter was hot! Loved his tuft of chest hair.

I like it but I've never liked Jane Lynch. Just seems smug. And there's my general dislike for really butch lesbians - and yes I know I'm wrong to feel that way. But I don't like drag queens either.

R49 “Each one dumber than the last.”

I probably wouldn't watch this if someone other than Jane was hosting. I just love her.

R47 disagree. With this kind of show I was enjoying it and laughing so hard because the contestants were so dumb.

These people have no self-awareness. The comments they make when they walk away are astounding.

I wish someone could find more detail about Scott the bartender. Like his last name. Would be fun to scope out any FB or IG accounts he might have.

R63, I agree with everything you said except “I like it...”

The show is garbage and so was the first iteration. I’d rather get more seasons of “2 Broke Girls” than this shit.

Jane Lynch flirts with the women on this show.

The show is so heavily edited. It would be better if it were broadcast "live" .

Renewed for Season 2.

Good job, Jane!
