View CommentsJaleel White set to host upcoming Syfy Game Show

Jaleel White, the blue blur’s voice actor in the animated cartoons, will be hosting SyFy’s next game show, but with a surprising twist. Total Blackout will have contestants complete various tasks, but in complete darkness. That’s right, pitch black will be all the contestants will see once the games begin, with spooky surprises to be thrown into the mix.

Mark Stern, Syfy’s President of Original Content states that “Total Blackout brings to life, in a wonderfully clever, intense and funny way, what can happen when your imagination runs away with you.” Crawlers like tarantulas and other arachnids will also be some of the objects used to scare the contestants. “Really the biggest surprise will be the contestants behavior, whether they maintain their composure or not, because the darkness brings out something in all of us,” White states in an interview.

Will you tune in to Total Blackout when it premieres on October 18th this year? At least you can keep the lights on…
