Spike orders 10 episodes of 'Caraoke Showdown,' hosted by Craig Robinson

LOS ANGELES, July 28 (UPI) -- Spike has ordered 10 episodes of a half-hour game show called Caraoke Showdown to be hosted and executive produced by actor Craig Robinson.

The show will be taped in Los Angeles and New York this summer for a 2017 debut on the cable network.

"Caraoke Showdown features Robinson posing as a driver, picking up unsuspecting contestants who are along for a very unique ride upon realizing they are on a karaoke-inspired game show," a press release explained. "During various rounds of game play, contestants must belt out their favorite tunes, finish the lyrics or act out songs for cash. Fun surprises add to the excitement as the contestants never know what's going to happen next."

Robinson is best known for his work on the TV's The Office and Mr. Robot. His film credits include Morris From America, Pineapple Express, Hot Tub Machine, Zack and Miri Make a Porno, This is the End and Peeples.
