Put the biggest songs on shuffle because Don’t Forget the Lyrics is back! The show took a year off from Fox, but is now returning for its fourth season.
Don’t Forget the Lyrics originally aired in primetime from 2007 to 2009 and was hosted by Wayne Brady. There was then a syndicated version that ran from 2010 to 2011. Don’t Forget the Lyrics was then revived in 2022 with host Niecy Nash-Betts.
The show is returning after a season off and was renewed at the Fox Upfronts on May 11 for Season 4. Don’t Forget the Lyrics features non-famous contestants correctly identifying lyrics to popular songs from different categories for the chance to win money.
“Our 2026-27 slate reflects what FOX does best — putting creative first with distinctive, returnable series and bold, character-driven storytelling,” Rob Wade, CEO of FOX Entertainment, said in a release. “With a strong foundation of returning hits and a carefully curated pipeline of new original series, we’re building a lineup designed to connect with broad audiences, drive performance in both the U.S. and around the world, and bring the consistency, scale, and momentum that position us strongly for the year ahead.”
