Candy Crush was an American television game show based on the Swedish-Maltese mobile game Candy Crush Saga, published and developed by King. Hosted by Mario Lopez, the show features similar tile-matching gameplay to its namesake, but with the players suspended at a height in front of one of two 30-foot touchscreens, which then held the Guinness World Record for the largest touchscreens in the world.[1][2]
Candy Crush premiered on CBS on July 9, 2017.[3][4] The show received very negative critical reception, with several reviewers calling it one of the worst game shows ever made. The show was canceled following a single season of nine episodes, with the two-hour finale airing on September 2, 2017.[5]
