'Don't Forget The Lyrics!': 5 things you need to know about Fox's musical game show
The musical show 'Don't Forget The Lyrics!' originally aired on Fox between 2007-09 and was hosted by Wayne Brady. The series challenged contestants’ musical memory in a bid to win $1 million - as long as they didn’t forget the lyrics. In 2021, the network ordered a new version of the game show. The reboot will premiere this month and will be hosted by Niecy Nash.
The revival is produced by Jeff Apploff, who was also behind 'Beat Shazam' hosted by Jamie Foxx. “Whether it’s tapping a toe to keep rhythm, humming a melody or outright singing along, music is one thing that is universally appealing. Don’t Forget the Lyrics! wraps everything about why people love, enjoy and treasure music into one big, fun, high-energy and high-stakes show,” said Rob Wade, President of Alternative Entertainment and Specials, Fox Entertainment. Here's what we know about the show.

What is 'Don’t Forget The Lyrics!' all about?
The show's official synopsis states," Contestants will choose songs from different genres, decades and musical artists. Then they'll take center stage to sing alongside the studio band as the lyrics are projected on screen - but suddenly the music will stop, and the words will disappear. Will the contestants belt out the correct missing lyrics, or freeze under pressure? If they sing nine songs correctly, they are presented with a No. 1 hit and sing the final missing lyrics for the top prize of $1 million. It's that simple: 10 songs, some missing lyrics, $1 million."
Who stars in ‘Don’t Forget The Lyrics!’ ?
Niecy Nash will host the musical game show revival for Fox. She is no stranger to hosting, having won a Daytime Emmy for 'Clean House'. Nash also guest-hosted the first five episodes of 'Masked Singer' Season 5, as regular host Nick Cannon recovered from COVID-19.
