LOS ANGELES -- Here comes the next "Newlywed Game" host.

Carnie Wilson, the Wilson Phillips singer and daughter of Beach Boy Brian Wilson, who hosted her own talk show and appeared on VH1's "Celebrity Fit Club," is slated to host 40 episodes of a new GSN edition of the game show where newly married couples answer questions to find out how well they know each other.

The original show, hosted by Bob Eubanks, debuted in 1966 on ABC, and went on to span over 20 years on the air.

The new edition of "The Newlywed Game" premieres April 6. It will feature an updated set and a new bonus round with couples who have remained married since appearing on the show.

"My personality and energy is perfect for something like this," Wilson said.

Wilson co-founded Wilson Phillips with her younger sister Wendy and childhood friend Chynna Phillips when they were teenagers. The trio had six top 20 singles before breaking up in 1993.

Wilson has also struggled with her weight, undergoing gastric bypass surgery in 1999.
