Jack Dee is on board to host Help Me Tiny Big Brain, a new four-part comedy game show for UKTV’s U streaming service and U&Dave channel from Stellify Media, with Sony Pictures Television handling distribution of the format.
Junior geniuses are paired with comics in the quiz show, commissioned for UKTV by Tracy-Jean, commissioning executive, and Helen Nightingale, head of factual and factual entertainment, commissioning.
Tracy-Jean said, “What Stellify has proven with Help Me Tiny Big Brain is that a great idea plus impeccable timing is what it takes to secure a commission. Uniting two groups who usually work solo—junior super-brains and experienced stand–ups–to solve problems under the watchful gaze of Jack Dee is truly an act of genius.”
Gerald Casey, director of programming, unscripted, added, “Help Me Tiny Big Brain is an idea that the channel has been looking at for a long time, and I’m delighted we are finally bringing it to the screen. Jack Dee teaming up with three Tiny Big Brains to run the rule over U.K. comedy’s finest promises to be unique and hilarious viewing.”
Help Me Tiny Big Brain will stream on U and air on U&Dave later this year.
