America is hitching itself to the Gogglebox format during the lockdown, but casting celebrities on the couch instead of members of the public.
Celebrity Watch Party (ewww) will feature Aussie Curtis Stone, Rob Lowe, Meghan Trainor, Joe Buck, Raven-Symoné, Master P and Romeo, JoJo Siwa, Steve Wozniak, and Robert and Kym Herjavec on FOX.
“Celebrity Watch Party is a fantastically innovative, clever and culturally relevant format that brings families together to celebrate all the best films, entertainment shows and news on television on any given week,” said Rob Wade, president of Alternative Entertainment and Specials for FOX Entertainment. “We’ve got some incredible personalities inviting us into their homes and onto their couches for an hour of pure fun with them, their families and the viewers at home.”
“We’re delighted so many famous people love the idea of this show and want to be part of it,” said Studio Lambert CEO Stephen Lambert. “It’s a show which asserts the indispensable role of TV in the fabric of people’s lives and the way it’s at the heart of the nation’s weekly conversation, especially in these unusual times.”

Call me old fashioned but this sounds like a Tupperware party with watches run by a celebrity
Is there anything Curtis Stone won’t do ?
It’s amazing how America has missed the entire point of the Gogglebox format twice now. Didn’t the first one feature beautiful people filmed in hotels? And now celebrities? The whole joy of it is watching well cast, real people.
I thought the US had already done a version of Gogglebox

They look like actors and the whole thing seems fake.
I think they were. One was a child actor from Full House and the movie little rascals.
“fantastically innovative….” Tell that to the creators of Gogglebox.
Studio Lambert the production company behind this show it the format creator of gogglebox.
Copy of The Weekly’s ‘Gogglenews’? lol. It is one of my favourite segments on The Weekly though so might work.
Horrid name, but some great celebrities.
Ewww! My thoughts exactly David at the name of the show!
Not sure if it is still going but the US had their own version which I think was called the Peoples Couch.
