Valerie Bertinelli Hosts New Show Bingo Blitz on Game Show Network

Valerie Bertinelli is set to return to television as the host of Bingo Blitz on the Game Show Network, following her departure from the Food Network after her show Kids Baking Championship was not renewed. The show, premiering on April 14, promises a vibrant blend of trivia and bingo, which Bertinelli describes as 'like nothing you’ve seen before.' She expressed excitement about the new venture in a teaser, emphasizing the fun and colorful format of Bingo Blitz. Bertinelli was let go from the Food Network amid reports of budget cuts, which her manager confirmed, stating that they opted not to renew her contract. The actress has shared her feelings about the change, stating it 'really hurt' to leave a show that had been significant in her life. This marks her first hosting role since her exit from the Food Network, where she had been a prominent figure for nearly a decade.
