Fox has released the cast and premiere date for its new celebrity competition series, Nation’s Dumbest.
Hosted by comedian Jack Whitehall, the game show flips the traditional competition format, with winning being the last thing any of the contestants want.
The show is set to premiere this summer on Wednesday, July 15, at 9 p.m. ET on Fox.
The cast of Nation’s Dumbest Season 1 includes television personality Hilaria Baldwin, actress and model Carmen Electra, actor Anthony Michael Hall, actor Jon Heder, musician and actor Chase Hudson, rapper and actor Ice-T, singer-songwriter Elle King, former NFL quarterback Matt Leinart, television personality and physician Dr. Drew Pinsky, stunt performer and comedian Steve-O, singer and performer JoJo Siwa, and entrepreneur and former presidential candidate Andrew Yang.
Nation’s Dumbest is a proven format that has found success in international territories and channels celebrities’ inner school spirit as they head back to summer school, facing a mix of brain-teasing tasks, fast-paced physical challenges, and long-buried classroom knowledge. Each week, the ‘smartest’ celebrity graduates, narrowing the field until a high-stakes final exam determines who will be left standing with the distinction no one wants—the title of The Nation’s Dumbest.
Based on a format from Montreaux Films, Nation’s Dumbest is executive produced by Ryan O’Dowd, Krystal Whitney, and Jenny Groom for BBC Studios. James Breen and Michael O’Sullivan also executive produce, with Breen serving as showrunner.
