Subtitled ''The Secret TV Game Show'', three contestants try to generate as much media exposure for themselves as possible with a series of hoaxes. With "hilarious" "consequences". The same contestants are used throughout the series, and a panel of three judges from the respected media and ''Heat'' magazine decide the winner each week.
