As part of The CW’s game night lineup, “Trivial Pursuit” airs one hour after “Scrabble”, hosted by Craig Ferguson. The show’s format includes three rounds. In the first round, three contestants answer multiple-choice questions, with the two highest scorers advancing to the head-to-head second round.
In the second round, the remaining contestants select five of the six categories to answer, with one category exempted from play.
Burton expressed his excitement for the new season, saying, “I feel much more comfortable this season. And I’m much more relaxed and having a lot more fun.” He added that his ease on set translates to a more enjoyable viewing experience.
Fans can also expect surprises in this season’s gameplay. Burton noted that viewers will often recognize some answers while learning new information during the game. “At the end of the day, though, you will have learned something watching Trivial Pursuit,” he said.
The pairing of “Trivial Pursuit” and “Scrabble” is seen as a strategic fit for family-friendly viewing, with both shows encouraging audiences to play along at home.
The season premiere airs Jan. 22, with new episodes expected weekly, offering viewers a blend of competition and learning throughout the season.
