Although 2022's Generation Gap must be somewhat inspired by 1969's gameshow The Generation Gap, it's directly based on the hit Jimmy Kimmel segment "The Kimmellennial Challenge." Jimmy Kimmel and Mark Burnett are producers for Generation Gap.

"I'm very close with Jimmy's family," Kelly Ripa told ABC. "He is close with my family, and he said to me, 'You are literally the only person I know who can host this show.' Because he knows I work well with children. Anybody under the age of 13, that's my sweet spot. Those are my people."

"What they know about each other's generation always surprises me, and what they don't know always shocks me," she continued. "And this is a game show that focuses on those differences."

When it comes to her own kids, Kelly feels that the generation gap is huge, even bigger than the one between her kids and their grandparents. "I think the bigger generation gap is between me and my kids," Ripa said. "I never understand what it is they're talking about at all. It's like they're speaking a foreign language to me." Join the club, Kelly.

Generation Gap premieres on Thursday, July 7 at 9 p.m EST on ABC and Hulu.
