According to blackamericaweb.com, The Best Man star, Taye Diggs, is returning to television, this time as the host of a new game show.

You’re Back in the Room (working title), is based on a U.K. (United Kingdom) series where contestants can win money and prizes if they’re able to push through the constrains of being hypnotized by award-winning hypnotist Keith Barry.

 

In a recent interview for this upcoming game show, Diggs said,

“The second I saw this show I knew I needed to be a part of it. It’s the most unique blend of comedy and competition I’ve seen in years; I’m also quite excited as this is a program I can watch and laugh at with my six-year-old son.”

 

Here are additional details of the premise:

[Each show] features physical comedy and unpredictable situations, as contestants work together in teams and are challenged to complete a variety of simple, everyday tasks, from frosting a cake to blowing up balloons…after being hypnotized. With big money at stake, the contestants need to work together as a team, but their entranced state causes hysterical hurdles that unwittingly sabotage their progress.

 

The new eight-episode one-hour hypnotic comedy game show will air on FOX.

Production will begin this Summer.
