“I’ve always dreamed of being on ‘Supermarket Sweep,’” Jones said in a statement. “Seriously, I tried out for the show years ago; and after getting turned away, I knew I’d have to take matters into my own hands. Being able to bring the iconic game show back to life on ABC is my ultimate redemption story!”
Based on the format that originally air from 1965 to 1967, “Supermarket Sweep” follows three teams of two battling for grocery store supremacy, as the out their skills and knowledge of products to the test to win big prizes.
It appears 10 episodes of the revival have been ordered, with production to begin this spring.
