Damon Wayans Jr. is entering the cage.
The actor will host CBS’ adaptation of game show Raid The Cage with Jeannie Mai Jenkins co-hosting. The series, first revealed by Deadline, launches on Friday, October 13 at 9pm.
It is the latest CBS show for Wayans Jr., who will also exec produce the series, after his comedy Poppa’s House, which he stars in alongside his father, Damon Wayans Sr., was picked up to series.
Mai Jenkins previously co-hosted The Real, has hosted the 71st Miss Universe competition and worked on shows such as ABC’s Holey Moley and America’s Test Kitchen: The Next Generation.
Raid The Cage, which is based on an Israeli format, features two teams of two facing off to grab-and-go with prizes from the Cage before their time runs out and the doors close. Correctly answering questions adds seconds to the clock, giving teammates more time to grab prizes from the Cage.
