If you can’t spring for the Game Show Network on cable, your prayers have been answered as the Gameshow Marathon premiers May 31st on CBS.  The show will be hosted by TV talk show host Ricki Lake. Yeah, that’s right Ricki Lake will be the host of the show that brings TVs best game shows back from the 70s, 80s and 90s and to 2006. 

The twist on the Gameshow Marathon is that six celebrities will compete on a variety of game shows including The Price is Right, Let’s Make a Deal, Beat the Clock, Press Your Luck, Card Sharks, Match Game and Family Feud.  Each episode will feature just one of the game listed above as one celeb a week for the rest of the summer gets booted off.

If Ricki Lake wasn’t enough of a star for you to watch here are the celebrity contestants that will be slugging it out all summer long, including Paige Davis (“Trading Spaces”), Tim Meadows (“Saturday Night Live”), Leslie Nielsen (“Airplane”), Kathy Najimy (“Sister Act”), Lance Bass (‘N Sync), and Brande Roderick (“Baywatch”).

Gameshow Marathon, hosted by Lake, will premiere on Wednesday, May 31, at 8 p.m. and also air the following night at 8. Set your TIVO because it will then air the following week at 8 p.m on June 7 and 8, before airing once a week in its regular time period on Thursday, June 15 at 8 p.m.

You can bet Bob Barker won’t be watching.
