December 9, 2021 (Burbank, CA) ─ Actor, writer, comedian Aasif Mandvi ("Evil") is set to host The CW's new alternative series, WOULD I LIE TO YOU? where he also serves as an executive producer, the network announced today. Joining Mandvi are Emmy(R) nominated actor and comedian Matt Walsh ("Veep") and actor and writer Sabrina Jalees ("Canada's Got Talent") who have been named team captains, leading opposing pairs of celebrity guests who must determine who is sharing facts and who is full of fiction in each episode on the comedy panel series produced by Truly Original executive producers Glenda Hersh and Steven Weinstock, and "Evil" executive producers Robert and Michelle King. The premiere of WOULD I LIE TO YOU? will be announced at a later date.

Based on the original, hit British series of the same name, WOULD I LIE TO YOU? is a hilarious comedy panel show that elevates the "art of lying," featuring lightning-quick team captains joined by a stellar cast of celebrity guests, including including Brooke Shields ("Jane the Virgin"), Emmy(R) nominated actor, writer and talk show host Amber Ruffin ("The Amber Ruffin Show"), Tony Award-winning actor and singer Laura Benanti ("Gossip Girl"), actor, writer, comedians Michael Ian Black ("Wet Hot American Summer"), Andrea Martin ("Evil"), Julie Klausner ("Difficult People"), Jordan Klepper ("The Daily Show with Trevor Noah"), Adam Pally ("Happy Endings"), Chris Gethard ("Space Force"), Dulcé Sloan ("The Daily Show with Trevor Noah"), as well as former United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York Preet Bharara, who weave elaborate tales... that may or may not be the truth. Competing teams, one led by Walsh and the other by Jalees, then ask questions and watch body language to determine which are outrageous but true, and which are made-up stories.

"As a person of Indian descent, I couldn't be happier to finally steal something from the British," said Mandvi. "As a performer I couldn't be happier to partner with Robert and Michelle King, Truly Original and the whole creative team to every week host a half hour of pure silliness and joy."
