The press release offers some details of the format. As widely speculated, there's more than a passing similarity to Family Feud. Two teams of contestants guess survey answers. Sound familiar? Exactly how the format will differ from Feud isn't so clear. But my guess is that GSN doesn't want too many differences from the most successful show on the current schedule.
America Says gets a 5:00 PM weekday slot, which is far from GSN's all-Feud prime time. This doesn't indicate overwhelming confidence in the show, but I might be over-speculating. GSN may just not want to jeopardize the recent good numbers in the prime time window.
I'm not very familiar with John Michael Higgins' career, though Wikipedia tells me he does a lot of voice work. So I assume his voice will be soothing enough for a game show audience.
A funny note: based on a glimpsed promo, a poster on Game Show Paradise thought the new host might be Chuck Woolery. You can always count on GSP for humorous cluelessness. These are the deep thinkers who yelped that GSN was acquiring Toddlers & Tiaras.
