Steph, Ayesha Curry to co-host new TV game show
The famous Bay Area couple will headline ‘Tattletales’ reboot for HBO Max
Basketball star Steph Curry is ready to play a very different kind of game — and wife Ayesha will be his teammate.
The streaming service HBO Max announced on Friday that it has given a series order to a reboot of “Tattletales,” with the Currys serving as hosts and executive producers.
Steph Curry, the Golden State Warriors’ great who just made a big splash at
the NBA All-Star Game, will join his wife for a game-show competition featuring celebrity couples as they reveal insights into their relationships through fun challenges and games.
“Ayesha and Stephen put a fresh new spin on a classic game show to really shake things up for these competing couples. Celebrity couples, they’re just like us!” said Jennifer O’Connell, executive vice president of nonfiction and live-action family programming at HBO Max.
“Our families are huge fans of the original so to be able to host and produce this show together is such a joy,” said Ayesha Curry, who comes in with plenty of TV-hosting experience. “We’re both so busy with life that each episode will be an opportunity to hang out with some iconic power couples, have fun and let loose a bit. We can’t wait.”
Added Stephen Curry, “We are so excited to be a part of bringing this awesome game show back to life.”
As described in an HBO Max media release, “Tattletales” invites three celebrity couples to join Ayesha and Stephen on an exclusive date night to go head to head on uncensored relationship trivia and games, competing to see who knows their partner best. As personality quirks and hidden talents are revealed, teams are pushed to their limits with physical challenges.
Questions from viewers on the interactive fan question board put couples’ relationships to the test as they compete for a donation to the charity of their choice.
“Tattletales” aired as part of CBS’ daytime lineup 1974-78, then had a second run 1982-84.
HBO Max has not yet scheduled a premiere date for its new version of the game show.
