Start The Clock - BBC's The Weakest Link IS BACK: Premieres September 29 on NBC USA

The game show known for hillariously roasting its contestants is back. The classic Weakest Link game show originally from the dawn of the millennium of the British ponds is back for a whole new generation in America on NBC. The new reboot series is set to premiere on Tuesday, September 29.

However, this one will be different. Jane Lynch has been selected as the new host for the show's American counterpart and the logo has been redesigned.

But most things remain the same. A team of contestants struggling to get as many questions correct and as much money earned as possible, the voting, the host constantly roasting the series' own contestants and the classic elimination process which ends in the host lamenting the iconic immortal line "You Are The Weakest Link. Goodbye."

This is the series' first episode since the BBC Children In Need Foundation special back in November 2017 and its first regular run of episodes since the series originally ended on April Fools Day weekend in 2012.

Unfortunately, Anne Robinson, the show's original host who made the franchise so special and even got the offer to work on an international counterpart of her own creation during the second 2 years of its run from 2001-2003 unfortunately is not returning for the American dub. It's also currently inknown who the announcer guy is for the reboot who opens up the series by spoiling the plotline of the game.

Watch the all new, all improved Weakest Link game show 9/29 on NBC USA. Goodbye.


Quotes from the iconic series
"Here are the eight contestants prepairing for tonight's show. One of them will be able to win up to $1,000,000. The rest will leave with nothing as one by one they're voted off as The Weakest Link." - Jon Briggs, August 2000

"Welcome to the Weakest Link. Any of the eight people in the studio today could be able to win up to $1,000,000 dollars. They don't know each other, but however if they want to win the cash, they will have to work together as a team, BUT SEVEN will leave with NOTHING. As round by round we lose the player voted off as The Weakest Link. Let's meet the team."

"Now the rules. In each round, your goal is to reach your $125,000 dollars target. The fastest way to do that is to make up a chain of nine correct answers. Get your question wrong and you will break the chains all together. However, if you say the word "BANK", the money is safe but you will start a new chain from scratch. Remember team, only the money that is banked can be carried on to the next round. The first round lasts for 3 minutes. We start the first round with the first player that's alphabeticallym that's you (insert name here)/we start the next round with the player who was the strongest link from the previous round, that's you (insert name here)"

"Let's play The Weakest Link."

"The first question is for $1,000 dollars. Start the clock.""

"With (number) votes, (name) You Are The Weakest Link. Goodbye!"


"Join us again for the Weakest Link. Goodbye!" - Anne Robinson, August 2000
