Kevin Jonas, Frankie Jonas to Host ‘Claim to Fame’ ABC Competition Series
Kevin Jonas and Franklin Jonas are taking the spotlight in a new competition series, Claim to Fame, ABC announced March 23. The series will feature 12 people with famous family members living under one roof with their identities concealed.
“Co-hosted by siblings Kevin and Frankie Jonas, this new series challenges 12 celebrity relatives to step outside their famous family member’s shadow and live together under one roof, concealing their identity and lineage in the quest for their own fame and fortune,” the series description says. “They will compete in challenges, form alliances, and play DNA detective in hopes of avoiding elimination and winning the coveted $100,000 prize, and staking their own ‘Claim to Fame.'”
Claim to Fame is produced by Kinetic Content (Love is Blind, Married At First Sight) in association with Walt Disney Television’s new alternative production unit. Chris Coelen, Eric Detwiler, and Scott Teti serve as executive producers. Paul Osborne serves as the showrunner and executive producer. And Brian Smith is director and executive producer. A premiere date will be announced at a later time.
The oldest and youngest Jonas brothers seems ideal hosts for the series. Kevin is frequently teased for being the “least famous” of the Jonas Brothers trio, and Frankie is referred to as the “Bonus Jonas.” Most of the brothers have also done solo reality shows over the years.
Joe Jonas and Nick Jonas have both appeared on iterations of The Voice. Nick also recently replaced Shaquille O’Neal on NBC’s Dancing With Myself. After the Jonas Brothers band split in 2013, Kevin and his wife, Danielle Jonas, starred in the E! reality show Married to Jonas. Kevin, Joe, and Nick also starred in the short-lived Jonas on Disney Channel when they were younger. Frankie has recently made a name for himself on TikTok, where he has nearly 2 million followers.
