Long-time fans of Shark Tank probably see some of the products on that show and wonder if they are real or not. Well, an all-new game show is asking that same question. Snake Oil is a new addition to the Fox 2023 fall TV lineup.
This is just one of the many games shows and reality TV series that Fox has to fill its fall lineup as the ongoing actors' strikes for new labor deals with studios continue. Among the other shows are Special Forces: World's Toughest Test season 2, The Masked Singer season 10, Name That Tune season 4, Hell's Kitchen season 22 and more.
Here is everything that you need to know about Snake Oil.

As for whether there is going to be more Snake Oil, Fox has not announced whether the David Spade-hosted game show has been cancelled or renewed.
Snake Oil premise
Snake Oil sees contestants being pitched unique products by entrepreneurs, some of which are showcasing their real business ventures while others are "Snake Oil salesmen," put more simply, their products are fake. With the help of guest celebrity advisors, contestants must determine which products are real and which are fake.
The actual gameplay will have contestants pick a pair of entrepreneurs in each round to learn about their products through a custom-made infomercial and by quizzing the entrepreneurs about their products.
The winner of the game will receive a cash prize.
