The Big Fib

About the show

A hilarious game show where kids interview two experts, one real and one fake, and race to figure out who's telling the truth.

Show full description Hide full description

The Big Fib is a weekly game show for kids and families where kids use their brains to tell what’s true from what’s false.

Each week, a kid interviews two experts in a particular topic, one of which is a genuine, credentialed expert, the other a liar. Hilarious and fast-paced, the show teaches kids to ask insightful questions, weigh the evidence before them, and trust their guts.

In the era of fake news, kids need to learn to be able to tell what’s true from what’s false. And what better way to do that than a game show that puts kids in the driver’s seat, adults in the hot seat, and a sound-effects robot strapped to the roof?
