Comedy Central UK has commissioned two new series of noughties gameshow Your Face or Mine, the cult couples-based comedy format in which your face can win you cash. 

Jimmy Carr, who presented the original version on E4 and Channel 4 from 2002, is confirmed to return as host.

The 22 episodes of the show have been commissioned by Louise Holmes, VP of Programming, Comedy Central UK and will be Executive Produced by Leon Wilson and Ed Sleeman for Talkback. The series will be filmed in front of a live audience in early 2017. 

Over a series of revelation-filled rounds, couples are forced to compare their looks with other people’s – and ultimately with each other’s – in this relationship-testing game. The series is slated to air in spring 2017.

Jill Offman, Managing Director, Comedy Central UK added: “Your Face or Mine is a great lens through which to take a not-so-serious look at our image-obsessed culture in the age of Tinder and non-stop selfies. We’re delighted Jimmy has agreed to hook up with Comedy Central; we know our audience will ‘super-like’ his return with this classic gameshow format.”

Jimmy Carr commented: "I’m delighted to be bringing back Your Face or Mine to Comedy Central. In an age when people are forever judging individuals on how they look, placing attractiveness on a pedestal above intelligence, and forcing others to fit societal norms of beauty, why not make them do all of those things, to their loved ones, on national television and for money?”
