"$100,000 Pyramid" primetime this summer on ABC

The first full promo for The $100,000 Pyramid aired tonight:

Love the words appearing on the desk, in the form of a monitor. Love even more that it displays "WINNERS" for the winning team.

Sorry if it was mentioned upthread, but is there an announcer, and if so who?

I caught two more nods to the Bob Stewart era in that promo:

1) Despite the scores being displayed on monitors, the numbers "flip" individually.
2) I heard the traditional 80's Bob Stewart buzzer when time ran out.

"Brad" is the announcer. Don't know his last name. He tells you details about the Mystery 7 prize (a trip) if you win it.

Yes, the words are actually on the desk now. No more superimposing.

Those bells played at the beginning of this promo sound an awful like they're pulled from an old Match Game episode.

Yes, definitely a Goodson(-Todman) "ding".

I know that gameplay won't be top shelf like it was in the 80s, but seeing the player describing "hips" without her hands even leaving the table makes me a little nervous. Hopefully the rest of the play is at least better than that.

The subjects in the promo photo above are from one of the shows I saw.

Has it been confirmed whether using your hands for gestures and the like is allowed in this version? If they are, then there's really not much of an excuse for not pointing to said part and saying "these are your...".

(Although looking at the clip again, the fact the tables are shaped like they are wouldn't really communicate such clues to the studio or home audiences.)

[TLEberle]

She certainly hadn't read this treatise about how to win on $100,000 Pyramid.

[Unrealtor]

Hopefully the rest of the play is at least better than that.

I noticed two shots showing a scoreboard flipping from 20 to 21 and one with an 18 in the early part of the clip, and even if the 18 is more representative than the 21s, that's not that far below the level of play in the 80s.

Looking at the list, I don't think there's anyone on that list who did the old Stewart versions of the show (except Kathy Najimy as a contestant) but there are a lot of Osmond-alumni.

I like the in-cast matchups, i.e. Ken Jeong vs. Tisha Campbell-Martin and Barbara Corcoran vs. Daymond John. Pretty decent caliber of celebs here.

See, I always worry about those because it usually means they spent more time thinking "how can we pimp this ABC show" than they did "can they play the game?"
