GSN AND JERRY SPRINGER TAKING "BAGGAGE ON THE ROAD" IN NEW TRAVELING SPINOFF OF HIT DATING GAME SHOW "BAGGAGE"

Austin, Texas and LSU in Baton Rouge, Louisiana Set As First Stops

Sept. 16, 2014, SANTA MONICA, Calif. - GSN, the leader in game shows and competitive entertainment, announced today a 20-episode order of BAGGAGE ON THE ROAD, a new traveling version of the network's hit series "Baggage." Jerry Springer, host of "Baggage," will host the new iteration, which will travel to four US cities, beginning with Austin, Texas and Baton Rouge, Louisiana in October. The series is set to premiere on GSN in 2015. Additional locations to be announced.

BAGGAGE ON THE ROAD is a half-hour comedic dating game show where one contestant chooses from three potential partners, all of whom come with their own quirky, annoying and sometimes truly shocking physical and emotional "baggage" that could eliminate them from the competition. With Springer guiding the fun, contestants will be required to reveal the various intimate secrets and hidden flaws - housed inside literal suitcases - that typically aren't revealed on a first date. Eventually, only one suitor will win a date with the contestant... as long as that person can also accept the contestant's baggage in a final role-reversal round.

"It's hard to be shocked in my line of work, but I'm continually amazed at how revealing the contestants on the show have been," says Springer. "I'm looking forward to taking this show on the road and seeing how many fun but cringeworthy moments we get from people looking to find love."

"With BAGGAGE ON THE ROAD, GSN is taking production out of the big studio environment and bringing it directly to towns and cities across the US," said GSN's Executive Vice President, Programming, Amy Introcaso-Davis. "Our original 'Baggage' series remains extremely popular and we are thrilled that the one and only Jerry Springer is back to guide us on this unpredictable tour as we uncover who has the most unexpected 'baggage' in your town."

BAGGAGE ON THE ROAD host Jerry Springer has become a cultural and civic icon. In addition to being the host of "The Jerry Springer Show," now in its 24th season, Springer has been a political pundit, lawyer, Emmy(R) Award-winning newscaster, country recording artist, international emcee and TV personality. He has been in movies and on Broadway (starring in productions of Chicago in London and New York). He's been a progressive talk-radio broadcaster who also won America's heart with his ballroom dancing on "Dancing With the Stars." The son of Holocaust survivors, Springer holds a law degree from Northwestern University, and is a political activist who worked on Robert Kennedy's presidential campaign and served as mayor of Cincinnati for two terms. Springer has also hosted "America's Got Talent" in primetime on NBC.

BAGGAGE ON THE ROAD is produced for GSN by Wilshire Studios. Lisa Tucker (Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D List) serves as executive producer.

BAGGAGE ON THE ROAD joins GSN's arsenal of original programming, which includes newest hits SKIN WARS, IDIOTEST and IT TAKES A CHURCH, and the Emmy-nominated THE CHASE and THE AMERICAN BIBLE CHALLENGE. One of GSN's most popular and highest-rated shows, BAGGAGE was the first show in the network's history to reach national syndication.
