*We have an exclusive clip from “I Can See Your Voice” Season 3, the musical guessing game show hosted by Ken Jeong featuring celebrity judge Toddrick Hall.
In our preview of the Jan 17 episode, celebrity panelists Todrick Hall, Adrienne Bailon-Houghton, and more all have mixed reviews on the “Stay at Home Mom” secret voice. Watch the moment via the YouTube clip above.
The musical competition series airs on FOX and is based on a hit Korean game show. Per the press release: “Hosted by Ken Jeong, permanent panelists Cheryl Hines and Adrienne Bailon-Houghton and a rotating panel of guest celebrity detectives must help one contestant tell the difference between good and bad singers, without ever hearing them sing a note. With $100,000 on the line, each contestant will attempt to weed out the bad “Secret Voices” from the good, based on a series of clues, interrogation, and lip-synch challenges,” the series description states.
“In the end, the singer whom the contestant picks will reveal if they are good or bad in a duet performance with musical superstar Dionne Warwick, resulting in an amazing musical collaboration – or a totally hilarious train wreck,” the release continues.
Executive producer James McKinlay told THR in 2021, “The most significant element was that we wanted to create more of a game-show feel and create more stakes within the show.”
McKinlay added, “The Korean format is much more of a panel-based format, where the music star is the main focus and the panel is advising them throughout the show. In Europe, a lot of panel shows work very, very well, but they’ve never worked that well in the U.S. market,” he explained.
“Something that [Fox reality chief] Rob Wade wanted to do was to bring in the game-show element, so we added a contestant [who assesses the singers], and then we had to figure out how that part of the process would work in terms of the musical guest being in a slightly different role,” McKinlay said.
“It’s really given us something that I think U.S. audiences have loved, and it’s given us the human-interest angle as well in terms of the stakes of what you’re playing for,” he added.
