FOX presents The Real Full Monty, an all-new two-hour special inspired by the 1997 film of the same name, airing on Monday, December 9, at 8:00-10:00 PM ET/PT. This special features a celebrated cast, including Emmy and Golden Globe-nominated actor Anthony Anderson, who also serves as an executive producer, alongside Taye Diggs, Chris Jones, Tyler Posey, Bruno Tonioli, and James Van Der Beek.
The special aims to raise awareness for prostate, testicular, and colorectal cancer testing and research, with the celebrities exposing themselves to encourage men to get checked and break the stigma surrounding these issues. The group will train and rehearse for a revealing dance performance, choreographed by Emmy Award-winner Mandy Moore, culminating in a striptease in front of a live audience.
Throughout the special, the celebrities will share personal stories of how cancer has affected their lives, strengthening their bond and pushing them out of their comfort zones.
Based on the U.K.’s ITV format, The Real Full Monty has been successfully adapted in the U.K., Australia, France, and the Netherlands. The FOX version is produced by Spun Gold TV and FOX Alternative Entertainment, with Anthony Anderson, Dan Norris, and Ashley Edens as executive producers. Nick Bullen and Daniela Neumann also serve as executive producers.
