NEW YORK, Feb. 4 (UPI) -- Craig Robinson is set to host and executive produce a new game show called Caraoke Showdown, which will debut on Spike as a half-hour special later this year.

"The premise of Caraoke Showdown features Robinson posing as a driver, picking up unsuspecting contestants who are along for a very unique ride upon realizing they are on a karaoke-inspired game show," a news release from the cable-television network said.

The show will also be executive produced by comedian Howie Mandel.

"During various rounds of game play, contestants must belt out their favorite tunes, finish the lyrics or act out songs for cash. Celebrity guest appearances add to the surprise as the contestants never know what's going to happen next," the release added.

Robinson, 44, is best known for his role of Darryl Philbin on The Office. He also just recently won the Sundance Actor Award for his standout performance in Morris From America.
