What’s This TV Show About?

Airing on the ABC television network, The $100,000 Pyramid TV series is the latest iteration of a format that launched in daytime in 1973. This newest incarnation is hosted by Michael Strahan. The competition pits two teams of two — a contestant and a celebrity — against one another. In the main game, the partners take turns helping the other guess a series of words or phrases based on descriptions given to them by their teammates. The winning team then moves onto the Winner’s Circle with a pyramid-shaped gameboard. If a team can complete the pyramid’s six categories in 60 seconds, the contestant wins $50,000. If the contestant can win the second round of the main game (teamed with the other celebrity), they can win an additional $100,000. Celebrities appearing in the sixth season include Lindsey Vonn, Russell Peters, Jason Alexander, Wayne Knight, Wiz Khalifa, Ty Dolla $ign, Bobby Moynihan, Ron Funches, Ken Jennings, Ross Mathews, RuPaul, Carson Kressley, Tayshia Adams, Matt James, Wendi McLendon-Covey, and Thomas Lennon.
 

Season Six Ratings

The first half of the sixth season of The $100,000 Pyramid (which aired during the 2021-22 broadcast season) averaged a 0.41 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 3.60 million viewers in the live+same day ratings (includes all DVR playback through 3:00 AM). Compared to season five, that’s down by 14% in the demo and up by 3% in viewership.

The second half of the sixth season of The $100,000 Pyramid (which airs during the 2022-23 broadcast season) averaged a 0.29 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 2.79 million viewers in the live+same day ratings (includes all DVR playback through 3:00 AM). Compared to season five, that’s down by 39% in the demo and down by 20% in viewership.

While these numbers don’t include further delayed or streaming viewing, they are a very good indicator of how a show is performing, especially when compared to others on the same channel. There can be other economic factors involved in a show’s fate, but the higher-rated series are usually renewed and the lower-rated ones are cancelled.

Telly’s Take

Will ABC cancel or renew The $100,000 Pyramid for season seven? The network cancelled several of its older and lower-rated game shows earlier this year. Pyramid escaped the reaper’s grasp, but I suspect that the series is getting close to its end. I’ll update this page with breaking developments.
