SINGLED OUT
Singled Out is an American dating game show created by Burt Wheeler & Sharon Sussman which originally ran on MTV from 1995 to 1998. Each episode was split between 50 single women competing for a date with one male contestant, and 50 single men competing for a date with one female contestant.
The original hosts were Chris Hardwick and Jenny McCarthy. When McCarthy left the show in early 1997 to star in her own sitcom, Jenny, MTV hired Carmen Electra to replace her for the last season and a half.
The show became a cult classic, putting a more comedic spin on traditional and formal dating shows. Contestants would most likely be unconventional and cast purely for entertainment, without any assumed compatibility put into effect.
MTV relaunched the series November 19, 2018 as S1NGLED OUT on its YouTube channel. Despite attempts to modernize the format by incorporating a social media aspect and implementing MTV’s Wild 'N Out cast members Justina Valentine and Conceited as hosts to appeal to its urban contemporary & hip hop audience, the series reboot only lasted seven episodes.
On June 4, 2019, it was announced that a reboot of the series would premiere on April 6, 2020 on Quibi with Keke Palmer & Joel Kim Booster as hosts.
