Channel 10 has announced a surprising ABC star will replace Shaun Micallef to host another revival of the long-cancelled quiz show Talkin’ ‘Bout Your Generation.

Comedian and ABC star Anne Edmonds will host a revival of Talkin’ ‘Bout Your Generation on Channel 10 as the game show returns to Ten for the first time in over a decade.

The hour-long quiz show sees three different cultural generations test their popular culture knowledge and originally aired on Ten from 2009 until 2012.

Ten later cancelled the series before it was revived by rival Channel 9 in 2018 and axed again in 2019.

In a statement, Ten confirmed the quiz show will return to its original home this year with Edmonds replacing Shaun Micallef as host.

“The generational showdown Talkin’ ‘Bout Your Gen is back with a bold new look, a brand new set, and a fearless new host, the quick-witted and hilarious Anne Edmonds,” the network said in a statement.

“Each week, we find out which generation truly reigns supreme when Gen X, Y, and Z go head-to-head for the ultimate bragging rights.”

Edmonds is a familiar face on Ten as a regular panelist on Have You Been Paying Attention? but remains best known for her work on the ABC series Get Krack!n.

“As the new host of Talkin’ ‘Bout Your Gen my only wish in the world is that Gen Z will tell me I slay, and Boomers will tell me they don’t need any help finding it on 10 Play! I’m so excited to host this show and find out what’s wrong with young people and old people, but mainly with millennials,” Edmonds said in a statement.

The game show has courted controversy over the years, with claims the series has misrepresented numerous contestants’ generations and public outcry after an elderly contestant had sour cream poured over her for a challenge called “Human Nacho”.

The announcement comes as the network continues to rebuild and revamp its programming lineup after wielding the axe to ageing franchises like The Bachelor and The Masked Singer.

Ten has also opted to rest comedy series Thank God You’re Here, while doubling down on long-running staples like Have You Been Paying Attention? and The Project.

Earlier this month, the channel gave the greenlight for Sam Pang’s late night show to return for a “second run” of episodes just weeks after its debut in March.
