TBS Announces January Premiere for 'The Joe Schmo Show' Revival

The hoax-based reality parody returns on January 21, 2025, with a new protagonist and a behind-the-scenes look at the elaborate production.

The revival of 'The Joe Schmo Show' will debut on TBS on Tuesday, January 21, 2025, at 9 p.m. ET.
The series follows Ben, an electrician from Baltimore, who unknowingly becomes the star of a fake reality competition show while competing for a $100,000 prize.
The 10-episode season, hosted by Cat Deeley, showcases both the fictional game show and the production team's efforts to maintain the illusion.
The original creators, Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, return as executive producers, alongside showrunner Dave Kneebone.
The revival builds on the success of similar reality hoax concepts like Amazon Freevee's 'Jury Duty,' which garnered critical acclaim in 2023.
