New comedy game show: Black Card Revoked

Black Card Revoked

Based on the party game of the same name, this nostalgia-filled show tests players' knowledge of the nuances of the African American perspective - from pop culture milestones and entertainment moments to historical facts and politics.

Actor and comedian Tony Rock hosts the series, bringing his signature quick-witted style to the game play and challenging the contestants.

Since its creation by Cards For All People in 2015, Black Card Revoked quickly become a fixture at home parties. Although the African American experience is far from monolithic, the game is a lighthearted nod to the shared commonalities of Black life in America.

If you know the answer to questions like "How many fights did the Fresh Prince get into before his mom got scared?", your metaphorical 'Black Card' will stay intact ("1 little fight," of course).  But if you've never seen The Color Purple or Friday, you might get your card snatched.

As a witty celebration of African American life, Black Card Revoked aims to appeal to all lovers of Black culture, bringing together viewers from diverse walks of life for a fun night of laughter and spirited debate.

Each 30-minute episode features three teams - each with a celebrity and contestant partner - answering questions about universal pop culture and historical moments, viewed through the African American lens.

The teams will square off and put their figurative 'Black Cards' on the line for a chance to win up to $10,000.
