Disney’s craven mining of existing intellectual property has resulted in films about where wishing stars come from and how Han Solo got his name. However, with I.P. becoming a depleting resource in our AI-powered age, ABC is looking to the playground for its next hit game show, and who better to put at the center than the basketball player who will do anything. Variety reports that, this December, ABC will launch a new competition called Can You Hide… Shaq?, hosted by Nicole Byer, in which eight contestants do their best to hide the 7’1, 325-pound former basketball star in plain sight.

“I’m not exactly easy to miss,” Shaquille O’Neal said in a statement. “I love meeting people wherever I go, but for years I’ve always wondered, could somebody actually make me disappear? Well, we finally decided to put it to the test. We turned it into a real competition, and I can’t wait for you to see the creative, ridiculous ways they tried to hide me in plain sight. The stakes are high, and so is the prize. But you know me, we’re gonna have some fun along the way.”

Hiding a man the size of Shaq won’t be easy. Have you seen this guy next to The General? Two teams of four will do their best to disguise the prolific pitchman around the Dallas metro area. “The team that completes its mission with the fewest spottings earns immunity for one team member in the next round, who then becomes team captain,” the logline explains. “The teams must work together toward one greater mission: earning prize money to add to the ‘Shaq-pot’ that will ultimately be claimed by one winner.” We can only hope that Can You Hide… Shaq? will lead to more celebrity hide-and-seek games under the Can You Hide… banner, such as Can You Hide… Tilda Swinton, Can You Hide… Sebastian Maniscalco, or Can You Hide… Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent: Don’t Find Him Edition.

Can You Hide… Shaq? premieres on ABC on December 3 at 9 p.m.
