What happens

Candy Crush is an American television game show based on the Swedish-Maltese mobile game Candy Crush Saga, published and developed by King. Hosted by Mario Lopez, the show features similar tile-matching gameplay to its namesake, but with the players suspended at a height in front of one of two 30-foot touchscreens, which then held the Guinness World Record for the largest touchscreens in the world. Candy Crush premiered on CBS on July 9, 2017. The show received very negative critical reception, with several reviewers calling it one of the worst game shows ever made. The show was canceled following a single season of nine episodes, with the two-hour finale airing on September 2, 2017. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
