Celebrity Extra

- By Cindy Elavsky

Q: For the past two years during the summer months, my local ABC affiliate had three fabulous game shows in a row beginning at 8 p.m., starting with “Celebrity Family Feud” and ending with “Match Game.” I can’t remember the name of the show, but the one in the 9 p.m. hour was emceed by Michael Strahan with two celebritie­s each playing with a contestant. “Family Feud” and “Match Game” are both back this summer, but the Strahan show is not. Will it be returning before the end of the season? -- D.J.

A: ABC’S Summer Fun & Games lineup is back again on Sunday nights this summer, but “The $100,000 Pyramid” seems to be missing. It’s not in the promos, and it looks like it’s been replaced by “Press Your Luck,” hosted by actress Elizabeth Banks.

According to sources like Tvseriesfi­nale.com, “Pyramid” was renewed for 2020, so my guess is that unlike the other Fun & Games shows, it hadn’t begun filming before the pandemic shut down production in all of Hollywood. Hopefully it’ll return for next summer’s Fun & Games, if not sooner. ***
