Valerie Bertinelli, known for a decades-spanning television career acting in sitcoms and hosting shows on the Food Network, is starting a new venture, taking on a new hosting gig for the game show Bingo Blitz.
About a year after her final episode as host of Kids Baking Championship aired, Bertinelli is getting back into the game show sphere with the new show from Game Show Network.

The official trailer for the show Bingo Blitz was released, with Bertinelli’s charm on full display as she introduced the new series, set to air weeknights at 7:30 p.m. EST, premiering on Monday, April 14.
“Bingo is coming to Game Show Network,” she declared in the video. “But, you know, around here we like color and excitement and lots of fun. So we’re taking Bingo to the next level and way beyond. We call it Bingo Blitz, and it’s like nothing you’ve seen before.”
Bertinelli shared some insight into her experience so far, saying, “I am having so much fun and I think you will too. I cannot wait for you all to see it.”
Game Show Network shared more information about the new show on its website, with the description saying, “In Bingo Blitz, two contestants compete in a dynamic blend of trivia and bingo. The ultimate game of knowledge, strategy and luck, contestants answer trivia to earn bingo balls and points.”

Bertinelli also teased her new hosting gig on Instagram, sharing a video last week featuring a little game of “This or That.” Fans shared overwhelming support for the star, with replies like, “Great to see her again! Big hugs to Val!” and “Congratulations!!! 🎉♥️🎉 you deserve this 🙌.”
The 64-year-old’s two former gigs on Food Network—her cooking show Valerie’s Home Cooking and her position as host of Kids Baking Championship—were both cut from the network over the past two years. After this news dropped, Bertinelli shared her thoughts with fans online, writing after the latter hosting job was cut that it “really sucks.”
