Breaking News: Jameela Jamil to Host World’s Most Uplifting Game Show, "The Misery Index" – Bring Your Tissues!
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, and anyone who’s ever wondered what it’s like to grade the pain of humanity on a scale of “miserable” to “I wish I were never born,” hold onto your sad hats! The fabulous, the magnificent Jameela Jamil, famed for her role as Tahani in The Good Place (or, as I like to call it, “The Show That Makes You Question Your Entire Existence”), is here to introduce the game show America didn’t know it needed: The Misery Index!
Yes, forget traditional entertainment formats like singing and dancing—you know, the fun stuff! Instead, Jameela will serve as the queen of calamity, guiding contestants through a labyrinth of life’s most cringe-worthy moments. Think of it as The Hunger Games, but instead of fighting for your life, you’re just trying to argue whether getting a flat tire in a thunderstorm is a 72 or an 84 on the Misery Scale. Spoiler alert: it’s always an 84 if you don’t have AAA.
Inspired by the oh-so-joyous card game Shit Happens—because what could be more uplifting than rating the world’s largest pool of small catastrophes—contestants will form teams to evaluate agonizingly unfortunate circumstances. “Oh, your boss gave you a surprise meeting? That’s a solid 60,” says one competitor, while their partner nods solemnly like they’ve just been handed a golden ticket to the emotional therapist’s office.
And how do they know this delightful ranking of despair? Why, it’s based on the wisdom of a team of therapists, who are now presumably hiding in a bunker far away from their sanity, tasked with creating a “Misery Index” that would make even the most seasoned pessimist weep into their third cup of coffee.
But the excitement doesn’t end there! Jameela’s fellow Good Place cast members are also trying to find ways to utterly distract themselves from the inner turmoil of having to work with the horror of real-world scenarios. Kristen Bell is busy with Frozen 2 and a Veronica Mars reboot (because nothing says “adulting” like trying to save your childhood in the film industry), and D’arcy Carden, who plays Janet, is kicking butt in Barry. Meanwhile, William Jackson Harper is on a mission to embody every nice guy in Jack Ryan, and Manny Jacinto prepares for his voyage to Top Gun: Maverick like an eagle being launched from a catapult of cringe.
But wait, there’s more! Joining the sad spectacle are the Tenderloins from truTV’s beloved Impractical Jokers. Yes, the comedy troupe infamous for their embarrassing antics now gets to serve as panic-inducing cheerleaders in this carnival of chaos. Expect a whole lot of awkward laughter followed by, “Yikes, I feel seen!” because nothing says “fun” like turning someone’s existential dread into a competitive sport!
In Jameela’s own whimsical words, “As someone whose life is just a series of mortifying incidents strung together,” she can’t wait to swap her own epic fails for those of others, because misery loves company, or should I say, a network contract? Get ready folks, because “The Misery Index” is about to give all your worst days a brand new meaning—so fill your popcorn bowl and pass the tissues! This is gonna be one heck of a crying fest,
