The CW announced the premiere date for its new alternative series WOULD I LIE TO YOU?, premiering Saturday, April 9 (8:30-9:00pm ET), followed by the Season 8 premiere of MASTERS OF ILLUSION on Saturday, April 9 (9:00-9:30pm ET). The night kicks off with a brand new episode of WHOSE LINE IS IT ANYWAY? from 8:00-8:30pm ET.
Based on the original, hit British series of the same name, WOULD I LIE TO YOU? is a hilarious comedy panel show hosted by actor, writer, comedian Aasif Mandvi (“Evil”) that elevates the “art of lying.” Lightning-quick team captains Matt Walsh (“Veep”) and Sabrina Jalees (“Canada’s Got Talent”) lead opposing pairs of celebrity guests who must determine who is sharing facts and who is full of fiction by asking questions and watching body language to determine which stories are outrageous but true, and which are made-up.
This season’s cast of celebrity guests includes Brooke Shields (“Jane The Virgin”), Emmy®-nominated actor, writer and talk show host Amber Ruffin (“The Amber Ruffin Show”), Tony Award-winning actor and singer Laura Benanti (“Gossip Girl”), actor, writer, comedians Michael Ian Black (“Wet Hot American Summer”), Andrea Martin (“Evil”), Julie Klausner (“Difficult People”), Jordan Klepper (“The Daily Show with Trevor Noah”), Adam Pally (“Happy Endings”), Chris Gethard (“Space Force”), Dulcé Sloan (“The Daily Show with Trevor Noah”), as well as former United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York Preet Bharara.
