The Perfect Line had its pilot shot in August. The new game show was allegedly developed to possibly pair it was another game show, The Flip Side, which will be hosted by Jaleel White.

“Deborah is a natural hosting this show – her wit and charm resonate with audiences. We are confident The Perfect Line will be the perfect fit for stations’ lineups.”
Norville herself noted that “I grew up watching way too many game shows and have always wanted to do one.” As noted by Variety, she noted, “With The Perfect Line, I’ve found the right format. The show is a fast, fun, smart take on trivia and pop culture with tidbits of stuff you didn’t know – and it’s played in a way that you’ve got a chance to win even if you’re just guessing.”
