On the heels of such popular Maury Povich episodes as, ‘I’ve Been Here Three Times With Seven Men! Find My Baby’s Father’ and ‘I’m Positive One Of These Six Men Is My Baby’s Father’ comes the newest Fox reality show, Who’s Your Daddy? The program will air as a 90-minute special on Monday, Jan. 3, though seven additional episodes have already been ordered.
The first show will focus on an adopted woman who, in front of a live studio audience, will try to guess the identity of her father out of a panel of eight men. If the woman selects her father after a series of Q&A and three elimination rounds she will win $100,000, but if she chooses wrong, the phony father will take home the cash prize. The surprising popularity of paternity suit-based programming has caught on almost everywhere (except in the NBA) and in just three weeks the genre will finally make its debut in primetime. There has been no announcement yet as to whether the show has reached a deal with a Canadian distributor.
