MAJOR EDIT: We just got a tip from an anonymous source that GSN has indeed picked up The Newlywed Game for 40 episodes.  The Dating Game was not picked up.  We’re waiting for official confirmation

A few months ago it was announced that GSN would shoot pilots for both The Newlywed Game and The Dating Game revivals.  Both would be done through Embassy Row, one of the few great game show production companies left, who did other GSN shows like Grand Slam (hooray!) and Chain Reaction (they can’t all be winners).  Judging by the pretty decent amount of casting notices going around for The Newlywed Game, it looks like it got picked up.  The pilot was hosted by comic Judy Gold.  Nothing about The Dating Game yet.

Here’s where it gets tricky, though.  I looked at both the requirements to be on both shows from Embassy Row’s site.  The Dating Game has the usual, “You can’t work or know anyone from GSN, Liberty Media,” yadda yadda yadda.  However, The Newlywed Game’s requirements don’t list GSN anywhere on the thing.
