The infamous “Am I The A**hole?” subreddit is making its way to the small screen.
Hosted by Jimmy Carr, the new game show for Comedy Central U.K. will feature members of the public appearing before Carr and a panel of two comedians to reveal their deepest secrets and most bizarre disputes—before receiving judgement, per Deadline.
The show is based on the popular Reddit subreddit of the same name, which boasts 24 million members at the time of writing. The subreddit’s creator, Marc Beaulac, is one of the executive producers of the series. Jimmy Carr’s Am I The A**hole? is being produced by STV Studios-owned Tuesday’s Child. Filming will take place in late spring, and the series is set to premiere later this year on Comedy Central UK, consisting of eight hour-long episodes.
Steph Harris, executive producer at Tuesday’s Child, said per Chortle: Am I the A**hole? is only a question you ask if you’re convinced you’re right in an argument, but will our guests get the answer they’re hoping for when they share awkward real-life scenarios with comedians who pull no punches in delivering judgements?”
Carr added: “Seems odd that anyone would ask me to host a show about a**holes. I should be grateful, but I feel a little insulted. I guess I’m an a**hole. Well, it takes an a**hole to know an a**hole, so I’m the right man for the job.
“I’m very much looking forward to being Comedy Central’s Proctologist in Residence. There are an impressive number of a**holes in our country, and they’re finally getting the recognition they deserve on national television.”
From giving your stay-at-home wife a written performance review (kind of the A-hole) to catching out a lactose-intolerant milk thief (not the A-hole), Reddit’s Am I The A**hole thread—also known by the acronym AITA—has become a safe space for people to vent anonymously and ask an impartial jury of Internet strangers: Am I in the wrong?
Since its creation in 2013, AITA has evolved from a niche online forum into a cultural phenomenon, the subject of philosophical and demographic study and endless internet discourse. Over a decade on, it has inspired an entire ecosystem, including TikToks and podcast episodes dedicated to dissecting the most viral posts.
Now, a panel of comedians and a TV audience will have their turn weighing in on real-life conflicts—offering insight, validation, or, in some cases, a much-needed dose of self-reflection.
