Fox orders Wayne Brady-hosted mystery variety show Game of Talents

Deadline

A remake of a Spanish format, Game of Talents "sees contestants attempting to guess the performers’ hidden talent, based only on their first impressions and a few wily clues," per Deadline. "It mixes a large-scale variety show with a high-intensity investigative game. With more than $200,000 on the line, can the contestants spot the fire dancer from the spider wrangler or the chainsaw juggler from the contortionist?" Fremantle is remaking Game of Talents throughout the world, including Great Britain. "What excites me about this series and this concept is every week we get to show off talents that will amaze, inspire and, in some cases, make your jaw-drop,” said Brady. “As someone who loves games and loves all types of talent, this was a perfect fit for me and I’m thrilled to be a part of the creative team bringing it to life. I also get to give away someone else’s money, which I always enjoy doing.”
