Pat Bullard, who most recently hosted FOX's "Surprise Wedding" special, has been cast as the host of Pearson Television's game show "Card Sharks," according to trade sources. The new high-speed version of the classic game show is in development for a possible syndication debut next year.

Bullard is a veteran writer and producer, having worked on the shows "Roseanne" and "Grace Under Fire." He also hosted the game show "Love Connection" from 1998-99.

The original version of "Card Sharks" followed a simple format of contestants trying to predict whether the value of the next playing card would be higher or lower than the preceding one.
