Jay Leno is set to host a reboot of the game show “You Bet Your Life.”

The comedian will revive the series with Fox Television Stations beginning in the fall of 2021.

The original quiz show ran on television from 1950-61 but got its start on radio in ’47, and the reboot will preserve the interviews and banter with contestants that the original became so well known for.

The first 180 episodes will be distributed by Fox First Run.

“I’m thrilled to be hosting the latest version of ‘You Bet Your Life.’ One of my favorite things to do is talk to regular people and draw humor out of them,” said Leno, 70, in a statement obtained by Fox News. “This is a comedy show wrapped in a game show that allows me to do just that.”
