The World Needs More Celebrity Traitors

The reality competition show Celebrity Traitors was a huge hit in the U.K., averaging 11.1 million viewers for its finale – that’s about 16% of the country watching live! Streaming numbers are still coming in, suggesting even more people tuned in. What made the U.K. version unique was its cast of well-known actors, comedians, and personalities – people you’d see in dramas and on talk shows, not just typical reality TV stars – and they all played the game with genuine seriousness, revealing unexpected sides of themselves. Think Sir Stephen Fry alongside the lively Celia Imrie, and the surprising game play of Sherlock actor Joe Marler and comedian Alan Carr, who was visibly stressed as a ‘Traitor.’ For American audiences, imagine Morgan Freeman, Meryl Streep, Ken Jennings, Rob Gronkowski, and Nikki Glaser competing in a real-life version of Mafia – Andy Cohen, please make it happen!
