TBS SETS PREMIERE DATE FOR RE-IMAGINED REALITY HOAX "THE JOE SCHMO SHOW" FOR TUESDAY, JANUARY 21, 2025, AT 9PM ET/PT
New York, NY - December 17, 2024 - TBS sets the premiere date for "The Joe Schmo Show," the reality hoax comedy for Tuesday, January 21, 2025 at 9:00PM ET/PT. Hosted by five-time Emmy Award nominee, Cat Deeley, the show-within-a show takes aim at the absurdity of reality TV by making Ben, an electrician from Baltimore, believe he is competing for a chance to win $100,000 on a popular game show when he is, in fact, surrounded by a cast of highly skilled improv comedians.
"The modern revival of The Joe Schmo Show is the perfect complement to TBS' best-in-class comedy lineup," said Jason Sarlanis, President, Turner Networks. "Filled with heart and hilarious reality game show hijinks, the series will completely immerse our audiences in the ruse, taking them on a wild ride and keeping them rooting for our protagonist week to week."
Each of the series' ten episodes provides a groundbreaking, behind-the-scenes look as the actors and entire working crew scramble to keep Ben from discovering the hoax, something made more difficult by the increasingly over-the-top format of the show. With each challenge, the stakes grow higher as production is forced to pivot storylines, and castmates, who Ben sees as competition, improvise strategies to pave the path to his victory.
