Jaleel White Game Show The Flip Side Ordered for Fall 2024 on CBS Stations

Publish date: 2024-10-10

Get ready for Jaleel White and “The Flip Side,” and we don’t mean Urkel and Stefan Urquelle. White is the host of “The Flip Side,” a new syndicated game show set to launch this fall. CBS Stations is the anchor station group in clearing “The Flip Side” across the country. Wendy McMahon, president/CEO of CBS News and Stations and CBS Media Ventures, announced the order on Monday.

“Game shows have been a bright spot in syndication — and network prime-time — the last few years,” McMahon said. “Their loyal viewers tune in more times per week than any other genre. We are excited to bring a fun concept, combined with the exceptional comedic skills of host Jaleel White, to the marketplace with ‘The Flip Side.’ It’s a perfect addition to any station’s lineup with the flexibility to play in multiple time periods or a game show block.”

“I have had fun being a celebrity contestant on numerous game shows, but I’ve always really wanted to be the host, giving people money and making their day,” White said in a statement. “When I first heard this concept I immediately wanted to be the ringleader of this entertaining, funny game show where the only requirement is being in tune with human nature.”

Besides his famous role on “Family Matters,” White’s recent work includes Netflix’s “Hustle,” CBS’ “Me, Myself and I” and Apple TV+’s “The Afterparty.” White is repped by Silver Lining Entertainment, AP Brand Group and Bianca Levin of Gang, Tyre, Ramer, Brown & Passman.
