The Cat Deeley-hosted of the classic reality show featuring actors and one "Joe Schmo" will debut on Jan. 21. "The series will follow Ben, an electrician from Baltimore, who believes 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 improv comedians," according to Deadline. "The ten-part series will see actors and the entire working crew scramble to keep Ben from discovering the hoax. 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."

The show's reliance on deception raises ethical questions, particularly in a world increasingly wary of misinformation and manipulation.
