In one of the more amusing sidequests that Shaquille O’Neal has embarked on in his life, the former NBA All-Star is set to appear in a game show where players try to conceal him from view in a hilarious twist on hide-and-seek.
Can You Hide… Shaq? Is the name of this upcoming game show, which will premiere with two episodes at 9 PM on Thursday, December 3, on ABC and the ESPN app. Episodes will be available to stream on Hulu starting December 4.
The show pits two teams of contestants against each other, challenging them to hide Shaq in plain sight in public areas around Dallas, Texas. This is no small feat, given that Shaq is a massive former athlete and one of the world's most recognizable celebrities.
“I’m 7-foot-1. I’m not exactly easy to miss,” Shaquille O’Neal said, per Variety. “I love meeting people wherever I go, but for years I’ve always wondered, could somebody actually make me disappear? Well, we finally decided to put it to the test. We turned it into a real competition, and I can’t wait for you to see the creative, ridiculous ways they tried to hide me in plain sight. The stakes are high, and so is the prize. But you know me, we’re gonna have some fun along the way.”
Comedian Nicole Byer will host the program, which promises to be a competition full of “fast, funny, and unpredictable challenges.”
The show's logline lays out the rules: “Contestants first split into two teams, each with a set mission and time clock.
