SNAKE OIL Adds Will Arnett, Brad Paisley, Ice-T, Bethenny Frankel, and More

Fox’s new series SNAKE OIL has added Will Arnett, Brad Paisley, Ice-T, Bethenny Frankel, Adam DeVine, Christie Brinkley, Kandi Burruss, Dwight Howard, Natasha Leggero, Jay Pharoah, Rob Riggle, Darius Rucker, JB Smoove, and Michelle Williams to its first season.

In SNAKE OIL, hosted David Spade (and executive-produced by Arnett), “contestants are pitched unique products by convincing entrepreneurs – some of whom are showcasing real business ventures, while the others are “Snake Oil Salesmen,” whose products are fake. With the help of guest celebrity advisors, contestants must determine which products are real and which are a sham, for a chance to win life-changing money. In each round of SNAKE OIL, contestants choose a pair of entrepreneurs and learn about their extremely unique (and often bizarre) products through visuals, a custom-made infomercial exclusively produced for Snake Oil, and by quizzing the business representative themselves. With the help of their celebrity advisors, the contestants must then decide who is selling an authentic product and who is hawking a sham. Will they make the right choice or be duped by snake oil?!”

FX Releases First FOSSE/VERDON Teaser

FX is debuting an eight-part limited series, FOSSE/VERDON, this April about the romantic and professional relationship between Fosse (Sam Rockwell) and Verdon (Michelle Williams). (It’s based on the biography written by Sam Wasson.)

Per FX, FOSSE/VERDON “tells the story of the singular romantic and creative partnership between Bob Fosse and Gwen Verdon. He was a visionary filmmaker and one of theater’s most influential choreographers and directors. She was the greatest Broadway dancer of all time. Together they changed the face of American entertainment – at a perilous cost. Featuring Fosse’s choreography, the series explores the hidden corners of show business, the price of pursuing greatness, and the suffering inflicted in the name of art.” The series also stars Norbert Leo Butz (Paddy Chayefsky) and Margaret Qualley (Ann Reinking). Aya Cash (Joan Simon), Nate Corddry (Neil Simon), Susan Misner (Joan McCracken), Bianca Marroquin (Chita Rivera), Kelli Barrett (Liza Minnelli), Evan Handler (Hal Prince), Rick Holmes (Fred Weaver), and Paul Reiser (Cy Feuer). Ethan Slater (Joel Grey), Byron Jennings (George Abbott), and Laura Osnes (Shirley MacLaine) are also recurring on the series.
