Are you a game show fanatic? Are you addicted to the lottery? If so, there’s some good news. Comedian and actor Billy Gardell (Mike & Molly) is set to host a new syndicated game show based on the iconic board game, Monopoly. The show will be a unique combination of a multi-state premium lottery and a game show.
“I love Monopoly! I’ve played this game with friends and family since 1979,” said Gardell. “Hosting a big game show is a bucket list level type of job for me. I’ve always had a big time game show as one of my goals, and to have the opportunity to be a part of Monopoly Millionaires’ Club is a real honor. It’s an iconic game that resonates with everyone, and I want to see someone win one million dollars!”
Monopoly Millionaires’ Club will film before a live studio audience and is set to debut in early 2015. In an interesting twist, the contestants will be chosen from the studio audience, which will be comprised of winners of the multi-state premium lottery game that goes on sale October 19, 2014.
