· Hosted and executive produced by DeGeneres with announcer Stephen "tWitch" Boss, "Ellen's Game of Games" recently returned to NBC for its third season on Tuesday, Jan. 7 (8-9 p.m. ET/PT).

· Every episode features DeGeneres' mischievous personality along with a raucous roster of games, including favorites from her popular daytime show as well as new games such as "Mazed and Confused," "Runaway Bride" and "Dirty Laundry."

· Contestants in the show play different games over four rounds. The winner of each round advances to "Know or Go" and the winner of that round proceeds to "Hot Hands" for a chance to win a $100,000 cash prize.

· "Ellen's Game of Games" is executive produced by Ellen DeGeneres, Kevin A. Leman II, Mary Connelly, Ed Glavin, Andy Lassner, Derek Westervelt, Daniel Norris, Noah Bonnett and Jeff Kleeman.
