Small Fortune Series Information:
NBC's newest team competition game show hosted by Lil Rel Howery, premieres on Monday, May 31 at 10 p.m. ET/PT. The series is a British import based on Youngest Media's popular U.K. format and is unlike any team competition ever seen on U.S. television.
· In each heart-pounding episode, teams of three from various backgrounds, including first responders and Olympians from around the country, work together to earn a shot at competing for the $250,000 cash prize in the "Big Little Heist" finale game.
· To get there, each team must prove their skills on miniature playing fields from a shrunken sushi conveyor belt with tiny chopsticks ("Teeny Sashimi") to a mini Ellis Island ("Statue of Liberteeny"). Challenges will require considerable dexterity and intense focus because with games this small, there's no room for error as the slightest miscalculation or tremble may result in losing tens of thousands of dollars.
· In the eight-episode series, Howery raises the stakes by mixing encouragement with his brand of laughs to keep the players on their toes and audiences equally as anxious and entertained.
· Howery is fresh off his successful HBO comedy special "Lil Rel Howery: Live in Crenshaw," which was rated the #1 hourlong comedy special of 2019 by Vulture.com. In film, he is perhaps best known for his roles as TSA agent Rod Williams in the Oscar-winning "Get Out," Charlie in the Netflix smash "Bird Box, and more recently as Wayne in the Oscar-nominated "Judas and The Black Messiah." On the small screen, he starred as Bobby, brother to Jerrod Carmichael, on the critically acclaimed NBC series "The Carmichael Show," also starring Tiffany Haddish as his ex-wife. In addition to making an impression with his own comedy series, "Rel" on Fox, Howery has lent his talents to "Insecure" on HBO, "Southside" on Comedy Central and more.
· "Small Fortune" is co-produced by Universal Television Alternative Studio and entertainment studio Youngest Media, which created and produced the U.K. format.
· Lucas Church and David Flynn will serve as executive producers for Youngest Media alongside Steve Barry and Joe Braswell, who will serve as executive producers for Kelchris and showrunners for the series. Lil Rel Howery also executive produces.
In the case of "Small Fortune," big series can certainly come in small packages, especially in this game show where teams of friends and family take on tiny games to win huge money.
COMEDIAN LIL REL HOWERY TO BRING BIG LAUGHS TO A MINIATURE WORLD AS HOST OF NBC'S TINY NEW GAME SHOW "SMALL FORTUNE"
Howery's Tongue-in-Cheek Commentary Will Bring Levity to Deceptively Simple Concept
UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif. - June 23, 2020 - NBC has named dynamic comedian, actor, writer and producer Lil Rel Howery as host of the new game show, "Small Fortune." Howery, who will also serve as executive producer, joins the pint-sized series that will offer contestants the opportunity to amass large sums of money on the smallest of scales.
"I'm really excited to host this very fun and exciting game show," said Howery. "I've played the games and they're not as easy as they look, which is why this show will be so fun to watch. You will want to try some of these creative games at home."
"Lil Rel's energy, wit and comedic timing are sure to make 'Small Fortune' feel larger than life," said Meredith Ahr, President, Alternative and Reality Group, NBC Entertainment. "As he guides contestants through nail-biting challenges, audiences will be on the edge of their seats and laughing all at once."
"Small Fortune" will see teams of three friends compete in the tiniest of challenges for a chance to win big money. In order to win, players must face heart-pounding tasks set in real-world destinations that test their precision and technique. From a shrunken sushi conveyor belt with tiny chopsticks ("Shrunken Sushi") to a mini Ellis Island ("Statue of Liberteeny"), each team must prove their skills on miniature playing fields. Challenges will require considerable dexterity and intense focus because with games this small, there's no room for error as the slightest miscalculation or tremble may result in elimination.
To take home the ultimate Small Fortune, teams that make it to the end must tackle one last teeny-tiny but epic game. If players can control their nerves and avoid the slightest mistake, they will walk away with a big cash prize.
"Small Fortune" is set to go into production later this year.
