America’s Got Talent judge Howie Mandel is gearing up to host yet another game show, this time on Netflix. The new series, titled Best Guest Live, will allow viewers at home to participate for the chance to win money. A premiere date has yet to be announced.
Howie Mandel to Co-Host New Netflix Game Show
Earlier this week, Netflix shared a teaser for Best Guest Live, featuring co-host Hunter March, who shared a few clues that pointed to Howie Mandel. Together, March and Mandel will serve as the face of the show, which encourages participation from viewers.
According to the Los Angeles Times, the new show will premiere on weekdays at 5 p.m. PT. The hosts will share a set of five clues, and viewers at home can use their phones to guess the answer. The earlier you guess correctly, the better chance you have of winning money.
Variety gives a little more insight into how the game works, explaining that each clue will last for 20 seconds, but you’ll only have one chance to answer. If you guess wrong, you’re out. But if you can guess correctly on the first clue, you’ll share the prize winnings.
“Can you imagine where you not only can go and play a game, but you could win a life-changing amount of money each and every day, and it takes no time, it’s easy, and you just have your phone?” Mandel told the LA Times.

Mandel Has Plenty of Game Show Experience
Howie Mandel is certainly no stranger to hosting game shows. He famously hosted Deal or No Deal on NBC, as well as Netflix’s Bullsh*t: The Game Show. More recently, he was announced as the new host of The Price Is Right Tonight in Canada.
The comedian is also a judge on not one but two talent shows — America’s Got Talent and Canada’s Got Talent. AGT is expected to return next year, while CGT will reportedly go on hiatus for a season, freeing up some space in Mandel’s schedule.
