Identity Identity, NBC, Weeknights at 8/7C
Official Website: http://www.nbc.com/Identity/index.shtml
"Identity" is an exhilarating game show from Reveille, the producers of NBC's "The Office," "The Biggest Loser" and "Ugly Betty" where contestants size up a group of strangers in an effort to match their identities and win a top prize of $500,000. The ultimate mind game is hosted by Emmy Award-winning comedian/magician Penn Jillette (Penn & Teller).
In this intense game of impulse and reasoning where keen perception and instincts can lead to big money, each new contestant faces 12 new strangers and a list of 12 new identities. The game unfolds as the contestant picks an identity - ranging anywhere from a profession to a shoe size - and tries to match it with one of the 12 strangers. The amount of money the contestant accumulates increases with each correctly identified stranger. If all 12 are matched up correctly, the player is rewarded with the top prize of $500,000.
A seasoned host, Jillette brings many talents to his new role, a deal orchestrated by Peter Adam Golden of Golden Entertainment West. Penn is best known as the larger, louder half of the popular comedy-magic team Penn & Teller, a role he has held since 1975. His numerous credits also include authoring five books, two of which made the New York Times best-sellers list, winning an Emmy Award, co-hosting four television series, including the current hit series "Penn & Teller: Bullshit!" and executive producing and co-creating the popular feature film "The Aristocrats."
Reveille's Ben Silverman and H.T. Owens ("Nashville Star", "Date My Mom") serve as executive producers along with Andrew Golder ("Win Ben Stein's Money," "Solitary") and Tim Puntillo ("Friend or Foe," "Fight for Fame"). Mark Koops and Chris Grant of Reveille serve as co-executive producers. "Identity" is a production of Reveille.

Well...I'm ashamed to admit that while I recognize Bruce Jenner's name, I would have no idea what he looked like. I was just a kid when he was famous and I wasn't into sports, anyway.
