Former Saturday Night Live cast member Leslie Jones will host the show. She previously shared that hosting the game show is a dream come true. The original show was on ABC in the 1960s.

New host Leslie said, “I’ve always dreamed of being on ‘Supermarket Sweep.’ Seriously, I tried out for the show years ago; and after getting turned away, I knew I’d have to take matters into my own hands. Being able to bring the iconic game show back to life on ABC is my ultimate redemption story!”

Due to the pandemic, the episodes were reportedly shot in about two weeks instead of months. Reports say, “There was frequent testing, hand-sanitizing stations, protective equipment, and limited contact — all in compliance with suggestions issued by Hollywood’s unions, as well as state and local guidelines. Electrostatic sprayers were used to disinfect the grocery items, allowing for a large swath of inventory to be sanitized more quickly.”
