While it's unclear whether Ryan will be there for only a one episode stint as a guest or play more of a recurring part, his presence acts as a welcome support for his friend and co-star.

In a clip the TV host shared, he was seen in one episode hiding behind a wall, with him reading out a clue to one of the contestants.

Sparking an epic "battle of the ages," the show is in fact a revival from a similar competition popular in the late 1960's. It's produced by the host's production company with her husband, Mark Consuelos, known as Milojo, alongside none other than Jimmy Kimmel’s Kimmelot, as well as MGM Television.
