Dermot O'Leary's "Silence Is Golden" airs May 5th
Dermot O'Leary's new game show, "Silence Is Golden," will premiere on Monday, May 5th, on U and U&Dave. The show challenges a studio audience to remain silent to win a share of £250,000. The premise involves comedians attempting to make the audience laugh, while O'Leary hosts. Katherine Ryan, Seann Walsh, and Fatiha El-Ghorri will serve as returning comedy captains throughout the series. The show is produced by Yes Yes Media and described as a "subversive and unpredictable format." The executive producer likened the show to the experience of trying not to laugh at a funeral.
