About the show
Game show SNAKE OIL is hosted and produced by Emmy® and Golden Globe Award®-nominated comedian David Spade and executive-produced by Emmy® nominee Will Arnett, through his Electric Avenue Productions. In the show’s all-new original format, contestants are pitched unique products by convincing entrepreneurs – some of whom are showcasing real business ventures, while the others are “Snake Oil Salesmen,” whose products are fake. With the help of guest celebrity advisors, contestants must determine which products are real and which are a sham, for a chance to win life-changing money. In each round of SNAKE OIL, contestants choose a pair of entrepreneurs and learn about their extremely unique (and often bizarre) products through visuals, a custom-made infomercial exclusively produced for SNAKE OIL, and by quizzing the business representative themselves. SNAKE OIL is produced by FOX Alternative Entertainment and Electric Avenue. Will Arnett, Marc Forman, and Neal Konstantini serve as Executive Producers, and Konstantini serves as Showrunner. David Spade is a Producer.
