That includes fan-favorites like The Price Is Right at Night, The Weakest Link, Password, Don't Forget the Lyrics, Beat Shazam, Celebrity Family Feud, Press Your Luck and Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?, as well as some new ones like The Quiz with Balls and Lucky 13.
This post is for Lingo though, so read on to get all the information on Lingo season 2.
Lingo season 2 next episode
There is no new episode of Lingo on Friday, September 27, on CBS.
In order to watch Lingo live, you must have access to CBS.

Lingo season 2 host
RuPaul is back as host for Lingo season 2. RuPaul is a 13-time Emmy winner for the reality competition series RuPaul's Drag Race, but brings his energy and charisma to the game show format with Lingo.
Lingo format
If anyone is familiar with the popular New York Times online game Wordle, then Lingo should be pretty easy to pick up. The basics of the game is that two teams square off in fast-paced puzzle rounds, trying to guess letters that reveal seemingly simple words.
A tweak from Lingo season 1 is that the winner of each episode will hold over and play in the next episode. This format, particularly familiar for fans of Jeopardy!, will allow for contestants to go on winning streaks and earn even bigger cash prizes.
