NBC'S "SMALL FORTUNE" TAKES COMEDY AND COMPETITION TO NEW LEVELS WITH PREMIERE SET FOR MONDAY, MAY 31 AT 10 P.M. ET/PT

Game Show Marks Lil Rel Howery's Return to NBC as Teams Test Their Skills for $250,000 Prize in Miniature-Sized Competition

· "Small Fortune," NBC's newest team competition game show hosted by Lil Rel Howery, premieres on Monday, May 31 at 10 p.m. ET/PT. The series is a British import based on Youngest Media's popular U.K. format and is unlike any team competition ever seen on U.S. television.

· In each heart-pounding episode, teams of three from various backgrounds, including first responders and Olympians from around the country, work together to earn a shot at competing for the $250,000 cash prize in the "Big Little Heist" finale game.

· To get there, each team must prove their skills on miniature playing fields from a shrunken sushi conveyor belt with tiny chopsticks ("Teeny Sashimi") to a mini Ellis Island ("Statue of Liberteeny"). Challenges will require considerable dexterity and intense focus because with games this small, there's no room for error as the slightest miscalculation or tremble may result in losing tens of thousands of dollars.

· In the eight-episode series, Howery raises the stakes by mixing encouragement with his brand of laughs to keep the players on their toes and audiences equally as anxious and entertained.

· Howery is fresh off his successful HBO comedy special "Lil Rel Howery: Live in Crenshaw," which was rated the #1 hourlong comedy special of 2019 by Vulture.com. In film, he is perhaps best known for his roles as TSA agent Rod Williams in the Oscar-winning "Get Out," Charlie in the Netflix smash "Bird Box, and more recently as Wayne in the Oscar-nominated "Judas and The Black Messiah." On the small screen, he starred as Bobby, brother to Jerrod Carmichael, on the critically acclaimed NBC series "The Carmichael Show," also starring Tiffany Haddish as his ex-wife. In addition to making an impression with his own comedy series, "Rel" on Fox, Howery has lent his talents to "Insecure" on HBO, "Southside" on Comedy Central and more.

· "Small Fortune" is co-produced by Universal Television Alternative Studio and entertainment studio Youngest Media, which created and produced the U.K. format.

· Lucas Church and David Flynn will serve as executive producers for Youngest Media alongside Steve Barry and Joe Braswell, who will serve as executive producers for Kelchris and showrunners for the series. Lil Rel Howery also executive produces.
