‘The Joe Schmo Show’ Gets Long Awaited Premiere At TBS – Watch

Over eighteen months after getting a greenlight, the reboot of The Joe Schmo Show has finally got a premiere date.

TBS will launch the Cat Deeley-hosted series on Tuesday, January 21, at 9pm.

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.    

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.
