How it feels

A prank show where aspiring reality stars think they are on a real show but are actually being set up by improv actors. The scenarios grow increasingly silly as the parody unfolds.

What happens

Fameless is an American prank show hosted by David Spade that aired on TruTV for two seasons from 2015 to 2017. The original order was for eight episodes, with an additional ten added to fill out the first season, having received better-than-network-average ratings during its 2015 summer run. Each week, the series features a group of unsuspecting desperate-to-be-famous individuals who believe they've been cast on a reality show. However, unbeknownst to them, they are really filming a parody with improv actors creating over-the-top scenarios that steadily increase the absurdity and ridiculousness of each situation (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
