Million Dollar Password returns on December 21st

[Millionaire Fan]

CBS finally announced the return of Million Dollar Password after taping a long time ago. It’ll come back on Sunday, December 21st, at 8PM ET. At least they aren’t doing the same mistake they did with Power of 10 by putting it in a suicide slot against shows like American Idol. The only change this season is that the $250,000 level is now a milestone. If you win a quarter of a million dollars, you can’t leave with less than that and you get a free shot at the million.

The games with William Shatner and Aisha Tyler are the first ones to be aired.
From what I can recall from the Green Room, this may turn out to be a curious choice to lead off this run of the show.

True. Aisha Tyler was a pretty good player, tho. Looking forward to hearing the announcement when/if they'll be taping any new episodes...

Oh wow... I like that new rule. Under the original rules, I highly doubt anyone would have ever tried for the million.

I hear Serena Williams will be on this upcoming set of shows, though... lame.

- Norm MacDonald (SNL, Match Game '08 pilot) & Jamie Kennedy (Jamie Kennedy Experiment)
