Reality Show Will Be ‘Hunger Games’ for Immigration: Producer

  • Federal officials are reportedly in preliminary discussions to develop a reality television program called 'The American,' where legal immigrants would compete for the opportunity to obtain U.S. Citizenship.
  • Producer Rob Worsoff, known for shows like 'Duck Dynasty,' has pitched the concept since the Obama administration, but approval from DHS Secretary Kristi Noem remains pending.
  • The show would feature regionally-themed challenges, including a Detroit automobile assembly line task, with contestants traveling by train whose seats decrease as players are eliminated.
  • Worsoff emphasized the program aims to be hopeful and denied comparisons to dystopian contests, stating losing does not lead to deportation and the winner is sworn in publicly.
  • DHS spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin confirmed the show is under consideration but has not received approval, while reports differ on Noem's involvement and public reactions have been strong.
