Joel McHale to Host CRIME SCENE KITCHEN for FOX

There are a lot of baking and cooking competition shows out there. Crime Scene Kitchen looks to shake up the normal formula though. Recently announced by Fox, Crime Scene Kitchen will feature bakers trying to guess what a dessert was based on crumbs and other clues and then recreate it for celebrity judges for the chance to win $100,000. Actor and comedian Joel McHale (Community) will host the show, and the judges will include chef Curtis Stone and cake artist Yolanda Gampp.

CRIME SCENE KITCHEN is a culinary guessing game in which bakers are tasked with decoding what type of dessert was made, when all that’s left are the crumbs, flour trails and a few elusive clues. They must then recreate the recipe for celebrity judges, chef Curtis Stone and cake artist Yolanda Gampp, who will determine how closely their sweet treat matches the missing dessert – and how good it tastes!

Talking about the uniqueness of the series, Rob Wade of FOX said:

CRIME SCENE KITCHEN is unlike any cooking show out there. It’s a truly original format with amazing baking creations, a brilliant play-along guessing game for the whole family, and Joel at the center of it all bringing hilarity at every turn. Just don’t watch it if you’re feeling hungry!

McHale added:

I’m deeply excited to be partnering with FOX and Fly on the Wall to host CRIME SCENE KITCHEN. Hosting a show where bakers try to figure out and then duplicate a dessert from just crumbs, crusty whisks and a soiled electric mixer, seems like a lot of fun and reminds me of college. Can’t wait. I’ve already picked out my apron. It’s leather.

Fans will be able to watch the premiere of Crime Scene Kitchen on May 26 on FOX and Tubi.
