Syfy to air U.S. version of 'Blackout'

NEW YORK, April 3 (UPI) -- Syfy says it plans to air a U.S. version of the international reality competition show "Total Blackout," which challenges people to complete tasks in the dark.

The Americanized version of Denmark's extreme game show is to premier April 25, with actor Jaleel White serving as host.

White is best known for his work on TV's "Family Matters" and "Dancing with the Stars."

"There are no lights, no blindfolds and no-holds barred as the players face their anxieties and unexpected surprises in a series of nerve-wracking games," a synopsis said.
