Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard are teaming up! The married duo is set to host and compete in Family Game Fight, a new NBC game show that tests brains, brawn and family bonds, the network announced on Wednesday.
In each episode, Bell and Shepard will be “adopted” into a family of four as they compete in games to help their team win $100,000. The project, which has been given a 10-episode order, marks Bell and Shepard’s first joint TV venture. Family Game Fight, the network noted, is based off of the couple’s antics on The Ellen DeGeneres Show.
The couple, who are parents to Delta, 6, and Lincoln, 7, share more details about the show on Wednesday’s episode of The Ellen DeGeneres Show.
“When I play games and get very competitive, I go fully offline. And that’s fun,” Bell jokes. “It’s interesting for the viewer. It’s interesting for my husband. As long as we leave this show still married, I think it’s going to be great.”
“Imagine how great season three would be, that we’re divorced and we have to host it,” Shepard quips. “Now that’s a show!”
DeGeneres promises the couple that the show will go on for as long as it takes them to get divorced, and, while Shepard agrees, he has one request.
“The last kid goes to college in 12 years, so let’s count it 12 seasons. We’ll get that divorce,” Shepard says, before his wife adds, “And then season 13 is going to be a riot.”
