Nickelodeon, hello! Larry King may have signed off from CNN, but he's definitely found ways to keep busy.

King will next appear on Family BrainSurge (formerly BrainSurge), Nickelodeon's mind-bending game show that has been rebranded to include the whole family.

The former host of Larry King Liveis one of the many celebrities who will compete for the ultimate honor — being doused with slime alongside your family — in the third season of the hit game show, hosted by Jeff Sutphen (101 Ways to Leave a Game Show).

Surrounded by famous fans, Larry King ends his 25-year run on CNN

Other stars appearing this season include Vanessa Williams, Joey Fatone, Jennie Garth, Nicole Eggert, Candace Cameron Bure, Anthony Anderson and Terry Crews. In addition, the casts from Nick's most popular shows — iCarly, Victorious, Bucket & Skinnerand Supah Ninjas — will compete alongside regular parent and kid teams. 

"We know that our viewers are playing along with BrainSurge at home with their own families," Nickelodeon's President of Original Programming and Development Marjorie Cohn said. "So it made perfect sense to invite kids and their parents to play together on the show and reintroduce it as Family BrainSurge in our Nick at Nite programming block — where families are already watching together."

The series, which returns Monday at 8/7c, averaged 2.8 million viewers during its second season.
