Blind Date is an American dating game show. The show was originally hosted by Roger Lodge, and is currently hosted by Nikki Glaser.[1] During its syndicated years (1999–2006), the series was distributed by Universal Worldwide Television. It was later distributed by NBCUniversal Television Distribution. The program was one of the many syndicated dating programs from the late 1990s-early 2000s (other shows in this category included Change of Heart, The 5th Wheel, ElimiDate, Ex-treme Dating and Shipmates), that aired after midnight, aimed at college age students coming home from partying or studying.[2]

Synopsis

From its initial 1999–2006 run, the show ended up having two couples that met on blind dates and later got married; while other couples did date for a while as documented in later "Checking In" segments, the majority of dates ended with the daters stating that there was no connection and there wouldn't be any further dates, while a decent-sized minority did have the daters state they'd like to see each other again but few of those plans were ever confirmed to have taken place.[3]

Reboot

On October 10, 2019, it was announced that the series was getting revived and premiered on November 18, 2019, on Bravo.[4][5]

Syndication

Blind Date was aired on TNN (The National Network, later Spike TV, now The Paramount Network) from 2001 to 2003. Also, Spike TV picked up the show after re-launching the new channel name, the show re-aired from 2003 to 2005. Blind Date re-aired on Fox Reality Channel from 2005 to 2010.[6] Some Blind Date episodes are available on Nosey.com but only a fraction of the over 1450 episodes that were produced.
