“Atari has remained a widely recognized and loved brand in pop culture for over 50 years, so it is no surprise that many celebrities have a strong connection to the brand,” said Wade Rosen, Chairman and CEO of Atari. “I look forward to seeing them share their personal stories and compete in a fun, game-show setting.”
Blumenfield and Marsh have executive produced such series as The Chelsea Handler Show (E!), Here Comes The Newlyweds (ABC), Stakeout (Food Network), Gigolos (Showtime), and Tournament of Laughs (TBS).

This show celebrates the history of gaming, the culture of entertainment, and the joy of competing like we’re kids -- it's one the whole family won’t want to miss!” said Blumenfield.
“It’s going to be amazing! You’ll get to watch celebrities do something they rarely ever get to do – which is actually have fun. And sometimes a walk down memory lane is just what we need to keep our sanity in this crazy world,” added Marsh.
