Valerie Bertinelli is back on our screens, and this time she’s swapping recipes for game cards. After teasing the news late last year, it’s finally official — she’ll be front and center as the host of Bingo Blitz, a brand-new game show hitting the Game Show Network this April.
The announcement dropped on YouTube on March 16, when fans were treated to the first trailer and a dose of Valerie’s signature warmth. The show is set to premiere on Monday, April 14, 2025, at 7:30 p.m. ET — and the countdown is officially on.
“Bingo is coming to the Game Show Network,” Valerie said in the trailer. “It’s like nothing you’ve seen before. I’m having so much fun — and I think you will too. I cannot wait for you all to see it.”
Naturally, fans were buzzing after the clip went live, with many taking to the comments to share their excitement. GSN followed up with a post on Instagram the next day, confirming the time and date for the premiere. It didn’t take long for longtime fans and curious newcomers to start getting hyped.
“Sweet. 👍 😊,” one fan wrote. “I can’t wait,” added another. Someone else chimed in, “Yayyyy!!! 🥳🎉💞❤️. Is there a phone app for the show?” — a fair question, given that the series is inspired by the super popular Bingo Blitz mobile game.
Valerie seems genuinely excited about this new chapter, and honestly, it’s great to see her doing something fun and fresh. She’s already well-loved for her time on the Food Network and her acting career, and now she’s stepping into the fast-paced world of game shows with that same easygoing charm people adore.
Though there’s still a few weeks to go until the premiere, it’s clear fans are already all in. And with Bingo Blitz promising to shake up the usual game show format, it sounds like we’re in for a good time.
It’s fun, it’s feel-good, and it’s Valerie Bertinelli — what more could we ask for? Whether you’re a game show junkie, a longtime fan of Valerie, or just fancy something new to wind down with in the evenings, this could be one to watch.
