Snake Oil is an American game show that premiered on September 27, 2023, on Fox.
Contestants and their celebrity advisors are asked to separate the legitimate inventions from the made-up ones.
[2] Winning contestants receive up to $220,000 for correctly guessing which products are real and which are snake oil, contingent on their score going into the final round and how much of a risk they choose to take.
[4] On April 18, 2023, it was announced that Fox had ordered the series, with David Spade as the host.
Decider's "Stream It or Skip It" review gave the show a mostly positive reviewing, highlighting its premise and contestants, but criticizing the hour-long runtime as being overly long and describing Spade's hosting as seeming "half-asleep" at some points.
