Name That Tune is a musical game show that premiered on FOX in January 2021, with Jane Krakowski as the host, Randy Jackson as band leader and Frankie Muniz as announcer. The show is an updated version of the classic game show from the 1950s and 60s, in which two contestants compete to identify songs by recognizing their melody, lyrics or artist. The show features a full band and singers, performing songs from various genres and decades, ranging from pop, rock and rap to country, R&B and disco.

The show begins with the two contestants, who are introduced by Krakowski, standing at their podiums opposite each other. Each contestant is given a chance to bid on how many notes it will take for them to name the tune. The bidding starts high, and the contestants keep lowering the number of notes they need until one of them says that they can name the tune in just one note. The other contestant can either challenge them to name the song or let them name it.

Once the tune is named, the winner is awarded points and is given the chance to play the "Golden Medley" bonus round. In this round, the contestant has to identify seven songs in a row in 30 seconds to win a cash prize of up to $100,000.

Throughout the show, Jackson and the band provide the music and sometimes offer helpful hints to the contestants. Muniz is the announcer who interacts with Krakowski and provides comic relief. The show also features a guest DJ every week who provides their own unique mix, and some celebrity contestants who play alongside regular contestants.

The show's format, pacing and energy are all designed to create maximum excitement and engagement for the audience. Whether or not you're a music buff, there's something satisfying about watching contestants try to recall the name of a song they haven't heard in years, or squeal with delight when they nail the tune. Name That Tune is also an excellent showcase for the musical talents of the band and singers, who are able to perform a diverse range of songs flawlessly, often in just a few notes.

One of the standout features of Name That Tune is its visual style, which incorporates bright colors, neon lights and modern graphics to give it a contemporary look and feel. The show's set is designed to resemble a nightclub or concert venue, with the band and contestants positioned on a circular stage that rotates and lights up in time with the music. The graphics and animations are also slick and eye-catching, adding to the overall excitement of the show.

Krakowski is a perfect fit for the role of host, bringing her signature charm and wit to the show. She's able to keep things moving along smoothly while also engaging with the contestants and keeping the audience entertained. Her chemistry with Muniz is also a highlight, as the two of them have a playful banter that adds to the show's fun and lighthearted vibe.

Overall, Name That Tune is an entertaining and engaging show that combines music, trivia and game show elements into one package. It's a perfect show to watch with family or friends, as it's easy to follow and fun to play along with. The show's creators have done an excellent job of updating the classic format for a modern audience, and the result is a show that's sure to be a hit with anyone who loves music or game shows.
