Premise

The contestant has to figure out who is fibbing and who's telling the truth between the two told to be experts in a similar area based on questions he/she asked them.

Development

In early November 2019, it was revealed that Disney+ had ordered a game show consisting of 30 episodes based on popular Gen-Z podcast Pants on Fire from Haymaker TV with Yvette Nicole Brown as host.[1] In April 2020, it was revealed that part one of season one consists of 15 episodes.

Release

The 15-episode first part of the first season was released May 22, 2020 on Disney+. Part two of the first season premiered on Disney+ on October 23, 2020.[3][4]

Reception

Common Sense Media rated the show 4 out of 5 stars, stating : "Parents need to know that The Big Fib is a game show in which kid contestants attempt to identify the dishonest party between two adults who answer questions on the same topic. Each episode puts a kid on the spot to ask questions related to the field in which both panelists claim to be experts and then to choose which of the two is lying. As such, being a convincing actor (er, liar) is a beneficial skill for the posing party to have, and if he is very good, the young player will lose the game by naming the wrong liar. This fun and funny show has broad appeal and will entertain families, and the facts that are shared by the actual expert can teach the audience a thing or two. That said, parents can also use the show to talk with kids about honesty and the consequences of telling fibs in the real world".[5]
