Frank Cicha, Fox's programming chief, says the trial went well enough that the show has a "real possibility" of a full-scale run in 2019. "The show is well done. Bringing in Meredith [Vieira] was a big get. It makes it more fun. It makes it recognizable. It makes it feel a little bigger."
A little bigger is better than a little smaller, right? Cicha thinks the show could be an okay lead-in or lead-out for Family Feud on Fox stations and elsewhere. (25 Words or Less aired at 6:30 PM on WWOR in New York City during its trial run, leading out of Feud.)
In my home DFW market the show aired in the middle of the afternoon, a not particularly favorable time slot. With some possible openings in the syndie schedule in 2019, maybe the word game stands a chance. If you didn't get to see the show during its trial run, YouTube has plenty of it.
