What is ‘Scrambled Up’ about?

The Monday-Friday strip features “four contestants solve jumbled words and phrases that unscramble right before their eyes; as the tiles unscramble, the clues get easier, and the player buzzing in with the most correct answers earns a shot at the $10,000 grand prize.”

Michael Eisner, founder of The Tornante Company, said in a statement, “Scrambled Up is exactly the kind of smart, joyful, highly playable show that belongs in the daily game-show conversation. The entire team has built a format that is instantly accessible and genuinely fun, and Michael Yo is an outstanding host whose warmth, timing and energy make viewers want to play along every day.”

Dave Noll, co-president of Keller/Noll, added, “The best game shows are built on optimism. They are filled with joy, suspense, laughter and real human emotion, and Scrambled Up has all of that in a format that invites every generation to shout answers at the screen.”

Ross Babbit, co-founder of Playing Field Entertainment, said, “The marketplace response to Scrambled Up has been tremendous, and this upcoming season gives us the opportunity to build on that momentum in a very meaningful way.”

Scrambled Up is produced by Keller/Noll, Playing Field Entertainment, Crazy Legs Productions and The Tornante Company. Dave Noll, Cleve Keller, Ross Babbit, Dave Bulhack, Gary Apple, Tom Cappello, Scott Thigpen, Adam Londy and Joe LaBracio executive produce.

When does ‘Scrambled Up’ Season 2 premiere?

Scrambled Up Season 2 premieres Sept. 14 in syndication, with episodes streaming on Samsung TV Plus the following day.
