TX Time: 19h00
Genre: Game Show, Music, Afrikaans
Noot vir Noot is back for its 44th season with a new host for the first time since the show's inception - Emo Adams - who replaces Johan Stemmet.
The show still features all of the fan-favourite classic games, including "Stop die Klok", "Noot Assosiasie" and "Laslappie".
Contestants battle it out against one another. They put their music knowledge to the test by trying to be the first to answer the game questions and clues, performed by DJ Shelly (aka Rochelle de Bruyn).
Emo Adams brings his comedic charm and humour to the role of presenter, creating a fresh and modern take on the game show.
DJ Shelly provides the music clues on both her DJ decks as well as her keyboard. Her love for music and engagement with the contestants creates a new dynamic for the show.
Season 44 also features a new modern visual style. As part of the new season's evolution, the set has been redesigned to incorporate new technology such as video bars, which create an energetic party atmosphere.
A large DJ booth with LED screens is positioned opposite the contestant podiums, which allows for fun and engaging interaction between the host, DJ and contestants.
The new set also features a massive screen on which the games are played, another new element which has been added to the show.
This large game screen will further involve the viewers and encourage them to play along, making them feel part of the action.
The games are also depicted through the use of 3D graphics which are overlaid on our television screens. All of these elements serve to create a new fresh and modern look.

Glenn Stearns is a self-made billionaire. He grew up poor in the remote outposts of Maryland and was just 14 years old when he became a father.
A few years ago, he sold his company for $2.2-billion and he believes if he can do it, anyone can.
Now, he's putting his belief to the test in a series that taps into his expertise to see if it's possible to create a million-dollar company in just 90 days, as he partners with a deserving candidate.
But, there's a twist: the real identity of the mogul will remain anonymous to everyone around him. He'll be dropped off in a remote community with little resources and no contacts.
The road to success is rarely an easy one – he will need to build connections, relationships and get a job that pays cash to build a company from scratch.
If he's successful, at the end of the 90 days, he'll turn over the company he built to the people who helped him out along the way – and he'll reveal his identity to those around him.
