CBS orders 'Draw Something' pilot

LOS ANGELES, June 16 (UPI) -- The CBS network has ordered a pilot episode of a television game show based on the "Draw Something" game played on mobile phones and tablets.

No host has been selected, and it is not expected to be Seacrest.

"Draw Something" bears a considerable resemblance to "Win, Lose or Draw," a CBS game show broadcast two decades ago.

The game has been extremely popular among mobile users with 35 million downloads in the six weeks after it was introduced.
