The Fox series from Shine America and Steve Carell’s Carousel Television will be hosted by Australian talk show host Rove McManus and will feature John Ross Bowie, Jamie Denbo, Brian Palermo, Jordan Black, Jessica McKenna, Meryl Hathaway and Rob Gleeson along with weekly celebrity guests.
 
Set to premiere on Tuesday, May 13, 2014 at 9pm ET/PT, Riot will be executive produced by Carell, Thom Hinkle, Eden Gaha, Paul Franklin, and Jim Biederman. Among the celebrities set to guest star on the show are Carell, Jason Alexander (Seinfeld), D.L. Hughley (The Original Kings of Comedy), Cheryl Hines (Suburgatory), Tom Green (Tom Green Live), Chris Kattan (Saturday Night Live), Mayim Bialik (The Big Bang Theory), David Arquette (Never Been Kissed), Oscar Nunez (The Office), Andy Dick (The Andy Dick Show), Orlando Jones (Sleepy Hollow), Nicole Sullivan (Cougar Town), Michael Ian Black (Burning Love), Will Sasso (The Three Stooges), Andy Buckley (The Office) and Rob Delaney (Key and Peele).
 
The Plot:


Riot features a group of regular players – including John Ross Bowie, Jamie Denbo, Brian Palermo, Jordan Black, Jessica McKenna, Meryl Hathaway and Rob Gleeson – improvising a series of showdowns designed to test mind and body. Throughout the show, the players must think on their feet as they face unpredictable song, dance and sketch challenges, often while navigating the show’s trademark one-of-a-kind set, tilted at a 22 degree angle.
