From the creators of "Whose Line Is It Anyway?" and "Mock the Week," TRUST US WITH YOUR LIFE is a brand new studio-based improvisation series that redefines both the chat show and television improv formats. The series premieres Tuesday, July 10 (9:00 - 10:00 p.m., ET).

Hosted by Fred Willard ("Best in Show," "Modern Family"), featured celebrities include David Hasselhoff, Ricky Gervais, Jerry Springer, Florence Henderson, Jack & Kelly Osbourne, Jane Seymour, Serena Williams and Mark Cuban. The exciting new format finds each celebrity reminiscing about key episodes that have happened in their lives, then brilliant improvisers acting out those moments which the celebrity has just described. These key moments in the life of the guest celebrity will be improvised as straight comedy or in game formats such as forward/rewind and sideways scenes.

The tone of the show is friendly, funny and cheeky. Comedians on the show include Wayne Brady and Colin Mochrie and Brad Sherwood ("Whose Line Is It Anyway?"), along with Jonathan Mangum ("Fast and Loose") as the main improvisers. They will be joined by guest starring performers such as Greg Proops and Nicole Parker. Eight episodes were shot in London for ABC. "Trust Us With Your Life" is produced by Angst Productions. Dan Patterson ("Whose Line Is It Anyway?") is executive producer.
