The Beat Shazam series has become a staple of the FOX summer schedule but that doesn’t guarantee its safety if the ratings hit a sour note. Will Beat Shazam be cancelled or renewed for season six? Stay tuned.
An interactive, musical game show, the Beat Shazam TV series is hosted by Jamie Foxx while his daughter, Corinne Foxx, serves as the Deejay. The competition features three teams of two players as they race against the clock, and each other, to identify song selections. During each round, Jamie Foxx presents a choice of two musical categories. The object is to be the first team to correctly identify the song’s title. While low-scoring teams are eliminated, the team which banks the most money will ultimately advance to compete against the Shazam app, for a chance to win a $1 million dollar prize. Season five includes special episodes featuring teachers, military members, firefighters, and police officers.
