The Big Bang Theory star Mayim Bialik is off to her next role as host of Celebrity Show-Off, a remote talent show featuring celebrities.

The TBS ordered show, which is based on the popular Korean show My Little Television, will have 10 episodes and celebrities will produce content from their homes. Each episode will show five stars competing for the most online viewers to keep their shows “on the air” and after each week the celebrities will come together in a virtual studio to see who remains in the competition. The celebrity with the lowest view count will be replaced with a new star and the longer the person stays in the competition, the more money they raise for their charity.

So far, Diplo, Ja Rule, Action Bronson, Gabi Butler, Dwight Howard, Travis Kelce, Nene Leakes, Jason Mraz, Kevin Smith, Tori Spelling, Bella Thorne, Rumer, Scout, and Tallulah Willis have committed to the series.

“Wait until you see what this cast has pulled off,” Corie Henson, EVP and head of unscripted programming for TBS, TNT and truTV said. “From sharing never-before-seen talents, to performing crazy stunts or even bringing on special guests, the celebs’ shows are creatively ambitious with DIY charm – since our cast are all working with the limitations of what they’ve got available at home.”
