WE ARE FAMILY: Anthony Anderson and Mama Doris to Host New Fox

Anthony Anderson and his mama, Doris Bowman, have been set as hosts of the new Fox reality competition WE ARE FAMILY.

The series—which will bow on Wednesday, January 3—”will showcase non-famous relatives of celebrities performing amazing solo performances and duets with their hidden famous family member.”

“We’re so excited to have Anthony and Doris headline WE ARE FAMILY,” said Allison Wallach, President of Unscripted Programming at FOX Entertainment, in a statement. “They embody everything that’s special about this show –a ton of laughs, a lot of heart and some friendly on the edge-of-your-seat competition that the whole family can enjoy.”

“I jumped at the opportunity to host WE ARE FAMILY and can’t wait for you to see all the celebrities, their relatives and the many surprises we have in store this season – and with my mama by my side, you never know what’s going to happen!,” said Anderson.

According to Fox, “WE ARE FAMILY will feature a studio audience entirely comprised of 100 contestants playing through multiple rounds of clues and gameplay to win up to $150,000 each by correctly guessing which celebrity the performer is related to before they are revealed. Celebrities appearing on WE ARE FAMILY will range from musicians and professional athletes to actors and beyond. Viewers will be encouraged to play along at home with their families to see if they can figure out the famous face behind the talented relative!”
