Alan Carr's Epic Gameshow is a British game show which premiered 30 May 2020 on ITV. Hosted by Alan Carr, the series features reimagined and "supersized" versions of past ITV game shows (primarily from the Fremantle library), with each featuring a new "epic endgame". Seven episodes were ordered, including a celebrity Play Your Cards Right special and a Christmas episode of The Price is Right.[1][2][3] A second series is also confirmed to be premiering in 2021 with all the 5 gameshows returning from the first series along with the addition of the show Name That Tune.[4][5]

1"Play Your Cards Right Celebrity Special"30 May 2020 (2020-05-30)N/A

Played with celebrity teams Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford, Martine McCutcheon and Jack McManus, Chris Ramsey and Rosie Ramsey, Ore Oduba and Portia Oduba.

The game was played in a tournament format with three matches, with the winner of the final (played on a single row of seven cards shared by both players) playing the prize cards. The prize cards were changed to a five-tiered pyramid with 12 cards, with tiers of five, three, and two cards each, followed by two more with one each. Successfully completing a row increases the prize (up to £30,000), but the players may only make up to three mistakes.
