Hosted by actress and singer-songwriter Zooey Deschanel and multiple Grammy-winning singer-songwriter Michael Bolton, "The Celebrity Dating Game" offers a wry wink at modern dating with a star-studded roster of celebrity singles from television, music, comedy, reality TV and feature film in their pursuit to find love. Offering the same iconic feel as the original classic dating show, each episode follows two celebrities who each pick one lucky suitor from a hidden panel of three bachelors and/or bachelorettes based on answers to a variety of questions. But there's a twist! The celebrity identities will remain a mystery to their suitors, who are given clues via hilarious parody song performances by host Michael Bolton.

Melissa Camacho Common Sense Media 06/23/2021
3/5
From the theme song and classic decor, to the constant innuendo-filled banter and blown kisses, The Celebrity Dating Game is just as corny as the original, and it's this homage to the classic show that makes it fun. Go to Full Review Joel Keller Decider 06/15/2021
There's enough charm there that some tweaks to the format and to Deschanel's hosting style will make it a fun watch. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

03/23/2022 I was on the show in Season 1. It was really so much fun. The guy I picked, Jim Finnegan, I'd already met at spring break on Balboa Island. I wonder if there's a way to get the footage? Nancy H. See more 08/21/2021 I was never a Michael Bolton fan, but he is by FAR the best part of the show, which sucks to high heaven. Just awful. See more 08/04/2021 wow, this show is so awkward. totally a mismatch between zooey and michael, neither is witty in their responses to anyone. you really can't blame the contestants for the things they say, but the hosts make the show in this genre and they don't deliver at all. this show needs someone like Tom Bergeron who can bring out the best answers from the contestants and the best responses from the celebrities and make the show more interesting. See more 08/03/2021 I like it keep it on, Zooey, and Michael are a great team See more 07/20/2021 super cheesy (smelly cheese at that) - too bad as I do like Zoey, but not in this. See more 07/20/2021 What were you thinking with this one. It's not worth watching even if Michael Bolton does sing on it. So many other things you could have done with him. Please don't renew for next year. See more Read all reviews
