## Synopsis

America Says (2018-present) is a US family-friendly game show created by Dave Noll and Cleve Keller for Game Show Network. Hosted by John Michael Higgins, who appears as himself across the format, the show pits two competing teams against one another as they try to predict how everyday Americans responded to a series of survey questions. Each round asks players to think about the public at large, so the engine is simple: read the room, guess the majority answer, and outscore the other side. Because the questions range over many everyday topics, each episode feels like a quick sampling of national habits and opinions. The show runs as a long-running, episodic format across seven seasons and roughly 590 episodes, with each brisk 25-minute installment built around a fresh set of questions. The tone stays upbeat, breezy and wholesome, the kind of light, comforting entertainment families can share. Fans of Family Feud, Match Game and Hollywood Squares will find a similar blend of survey-based guessing, playful hosting and friendly competition.
