ITV is gearing up to launch an exciting new gameshow that promises to bring viewers plenty of laughs.
Password will be hosted by versatile actor Stephen Mangan.
It is set to feature two of the UK’s biggest comedic talents, Alan Carr and Daisy May Cooper.
They will be a resident team captain, tasked with helping their contestants to guess a mystery password by offering one-word clues.
Each team member will get a chance to try and get the correct answer, but they will have to work together to get on the same wavelength as the person who set the password.
The lucky team who cracks the code stands to win a huge cash prize.
Show host Stephen Mangan shared his excitement about the upcoming show, saying: “Password is a fantastic game show, so it’s an absolute pleasure to be the host.
“Although how I’m going to keep Daisy and Alan in line, I don’t know!”
Alan Carr, who is known for his sharp wit and quick comebacks, didn’t hold back when discussing the competition.
“I can’t wait to wipe the floor with Daisy; she’ll be heading back to the West Country with her tail between her legs. If only her brain was as big as her mouth,” he quipped.
Daisy May Cooper, the award-winning actor and writer from This Country, was equally ready to throw down the gauntlet.
She retorted: “I’m looking forward to knocking the glasses off Alan with my exceptional talent for this game.
“I know that…given both our training (Me – drama school, Alan – Tesco) that between us (meaning mostly me) we will be able to win people lots of cash (just to reiterate when I say ‘we’ I mean ‘me’).”
Katie Rawcliffe, Head of Entertainment Commissioning at ITV, added: “Password is a brilliantly fun format greatly complemented by a fabulous on-screen trio in Alan, Daisy and Stephen.
“2023 has been a great year for game shows on ITV, and there are plenty more to come in 2024.”
Password will start airing on ITV1 on Saturday, August 31.
Alan Carr is a household name, but how did the comedian get his start?
