Norville herself noted that “I grew up watching way too many game shows and have always wanted to do one.” As noted by Variety, she noted, “With The Perfect Line, I’ve found the right format. The show is a fast, fun, smart take on trivia and pop culture with tidbits of stuff you didn’t know – and it’s played in a way that you’ve got a chance to win even if you’re just guessing.”

There is the issue on whether being in The Perfect Line will impact Norville’s work on Inside Edition. At this time, there is no word on her giving up one project for another.

In fact, Norville said her journalistic background might actually tie in quite well with her new role. As she shared, “Plus, as a journalist, I love that I get to share fun facts you’ll want to pass along to your friends.”
