Comedy Central UK has commissioned the new comedy entertainment show Jimmy Carr\u2019s Am I The A**hole?<\/em>, inspired by Reddit\u2019s popular subreddit of the same name, also known as AITA.<\/p>\n

The subreddit, which now has over 24 million members, has served as a place for people seeking judgment from strangers to settle their conflicts since 2013. The new eight-part series will invite members of the public to come before host Jimmy Carr and a panel of two other comedians to ask their controversial and funny questions, covering relationship disputes, petty family squabbles and much more.<\/p>\n

With Carr having the final say, each candidate will leave knowing once and for all whether or not they are \u201cThe A**hole\u201d of their situation.<\/p>\n

Tuesday\u2019s Child will be producing the series for Comedy Central UK. Executive producers are Steph Harris for Tuesday\u2019s Child, Iestyn Barker for Comedy Central and Marc Beaulac, the creator of the original subreddit.<\/p>\n

The series is set to film in late spring and air later this year.<\/p>\n

\u201cSeems odd that anyone would ask me to host a show about a**holes,\u201d Carr said. \u201cI should be grateful, but I feel a little insulted. I guess I\u2019m an a**hole. Well, it takes an a**hole to know an a**hole, so I\u2019m the right man for the job. I\u2019m very much looking forward to being Comedy Central\u2019s proctologist in residence. There are an impressive number of a**holes in our country, and they\u2019re finally getting the recognition they deserve on national television.\u201d<\/p>\n

Harris commented, \u201c\u2018Am I the A***hole?\u2019 is only a question you ask if you\u2019re convinced you\u2019re right in an argument, but will our guests get the answer they\u2019re hoping for when they share awkward real-life scenarios with comedians who pull no punches in delivering judgements? Our new format has found the perfect home at Comedy Central and the perfect host in the incomparable Jimmy Carr and is guaranteed to deliver bucketloads of brutally honest, hilarious a**holery.\u201d<\/p>\n

Barker, commissioner for Comedy Central UK, added, \u201cWe\u2019re thrilled to have Jimmy Carr back on Comedy Central UK, in charge of sorting right from wrong in this hilarious and no-holds-barred show that will leave viewers open-mouthed with stories of ridiculous and questionable behavior.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
