Jameela Jamil to host completely miserable game show for TBS
American TV-watchers only know Jameela Jamil as The Good Place’s Tahani Al-Jamil (the comparatively disappointing sister of the brilliant and wonderful Kamilah Al-Jamil), but she’s had a long and successful career as a host (or “presenter”) on British TV. Thanks to TBS, Americans will soon get a chance to see her present something as well, with the network announcing that Jamil will host a new game show called The Misery Index. According to a press release, the show is based on a card game called Shit Happens, which asks players to rank shitty scenarios based on how shitty they are—the example in the press release asks if a “third-degree sunburn [is] better or worse than seeing your father naked.” It sounds like there are “right” answers to these ranking questions, making this seem a bit like Family Feud but with shitty stuff instead of wacky innuendo.
