Small Fortune TV Show Synopsis:
COMEDIAN LIL REL HOWERY TO BRING BIG LAUGHS TO A MINIATURE WORLD AS HOST OF NBC'S TINY NEW GAME SHOW 'SMALL FORTUNE'
Howery's Tongue-in-Cheek Commentary Will Bring Levity to Deceptively Simple Concept
UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif. - June 23, 2020 - NBC has named dynamic comedian, actor, writer and producer Lil Rel Howery as host of the new game show, 'Small Fortune.' Howery, who will also serve as executive producer, joins the pint-sized series that will offer contestants the opportunity to amass large sums of money on the smallest of scales.
'I'm really excited to host this very fun and exciting game show,' said Howery. 'I've played the games and they're not as easy as they look, which is why this show will be so fun to watch. You will want to try some of these creative games at home.'
'Lil Rel's energy, wit and comedic timing are sure to make 'Small Fortune' feel larger than life,' said Meredith Ahr, President, Alternative and Reality Group, NBC Entertainment. 'As he guides contestants through nail-biting challenges, audiences will be on the edge of their seats and laughing all at once.'
'Small Fortune' will see teams of three friends compete in the tiniest of challenges for a chance to win big money. In order to win, players must face heart-pounding tasks set in real-world destinations that test their precision and technique. From a shrunken sushi conveyor belt with tiny chopsticks ('Shrunken Sushi') to a mini Ellis Island ('Statue of Liberteeny'), each team must prove their skills on miniature playing fields. Challenges will require considerable dexterity and intense focus because with games this small, there's no room for error as the slightest miscalculation or tremble may result in elimination.
To take home the ultimate Small Fortune, teams that make it to the end must tackle one last teeny-tiny but epic game. If players can control their nerves and avoid the slightest mistake, they will walk away with a big cash prize.
'Small Fortune' is set to go into production later this year.
Howery is fresh off his successful HBO comedy special 'Lil Rel Howery: Live in Crenshaw,' which was rated the #1 hourlong comedy special of 2019 by Vulture magazine. In film, he is perhaps best known for his roles as TSA agent Rod Williams in the Oscar-winning 'Get Out,' Charlie in the Netflix smash 'Bird Box,' Dax in 'Uncle Drew' and Lucas' dad in 'Good Boys.' On the small screen, he starred as Bobby, brother to Jerrod Carmichael, on the critically acclaimed NBC series 'The Carmichael Show,' also starring Tiffany Haddish as his ex-wife. In addition to making an impression with his own comedy series, 'Rel' on Fox, Howery has lent his talents to 'Insecure' on HBO, 'Southside' on Comedy Central and more.
'Small Fortune' will be co-produced by Universal Television Alternative Studio and entertainment studio Youngest Media, which created and produced the U.K. format.
Lucas Church and David Flynn will serve as executive producers for Youngest Media alongside Steve Barry and Joe Braswell, who will serve as executive producers for Kelchris Media and showrunners for the series. Lil Rel Howery will also executive produce.

The Captain Fortune Show (also known as Captain Fortune's Saturday Party)[1] was a popular Australian children's television show which first broadcast on ATN-7 in 1957. It starred Alan Herbert and featured various segments with puppets, clowns, and other entertainment.
Herbert's character Captain Fortune spoke directly with the kids, live and without a script. At the height of the show's popularity, it aired three times during the weekdays and also on Saturday mornings. The show also included segments with Uncle Monty and Roy Kinghorn, and is perhaps best remembered for the show's introductory sequence, which involved the young children running into the Captain's house unannounced and gathering around a large barrel, which contained a mannequin (named 'Short John O'Copper'). The Captain would sing 'Who's that kno-o-cking on my barrel?' several times, after which a puppet would pop out of the top of the barrel and the Captain would put on a puppet show for the young viewers.
Among the many actors who regularly contributed to the show was Les Foxcroft, best known for his stint on the Australian TV show The Last Resort, Chris Beard, Clifford Warne (with his puppet Gus) and Reg Quartly (in the role of 'Uncle Reg' or 'Uncle Reggie').[2]
Alan Herbert, who played the part of Captain Fortune wore a false beard (which was later phased out as Herbert grew a real beard) and 'naval uniform'. After four years he left the show due to health problems. In addition to the show, Herbert was known for doing work for many charitable organizations involving children.
Because the show was broadcast live, and the series pre-dated the inception of personal video recorders and VCRs, no film copies of the Captain Fortune show are known to exist.
From 1962[3] a successor program, 'The Town of Make Believe', which 'had evolved from Captain Fortune's work',[4] screened every Saturday on ATN-7 and was compered by Arch McKirdy ('Uncle Mac') with the assistance of 'Uncle' Reg Quartly.[5] In 1966 that program was renamed 'Fun Fair' and given a new time slot of 2pm on Saturday with Reg Quartly in the lead role.[6]
San Francisco version[edit]
Fortune Shower
A similar version of the show, with the same name, was broadcast in San Francisco on KPIX, Channel 5. It was airing by September 1950. A local artist named Peter Abenheim (actually an immigrant from England) played the host, at first named 'Cap'n Pete.' Cap'n Pete told tall tales of his seafaring exploits, illustrated by his own drawings. The show opened with children running to gather around the barrel inhabited by 'Short John O'Copper,' a hand puppet pirate who sang (in Irish pirate brogue) the 'Who's that knocking?' song. By the mid-'50s, 'Cap'n Pete' had become Captain Fortune, but Short John kept his name and sidekick role. [7][8][9]
