As host of TheTraitors , Alan Cumming joins 20 contestants in a Scottish castle and pits them against each other. And while he might call them traitors -- they could win money for it:
The reality competition programs that pepper networks and streamers are often just elaborate versions of games you might play on Saturday nights with your friends. And like in any game, someone can mess it up. Someone can cheat. Someone can quit. Things can always go wrong. And for the inaugural American season of “The Traitors,” one of the most stressful moments, where almost the entire show could have fallen apart, occurred in the very first episode.
Executive producer Toni Ireland‘s biggest fear was a contestant sneaking a look under their blindfold and discovering whom Alan chose — so much so that she made sure to check every mask herself. She notes, “A lot of the team made shows like ‘The Circle’ before where we have a catfish, and we need to keep the catfish secret. We had a bit of training in that, but nothing can prepare you for this.
As the show’s emcee, Cumming is playing a heightened version of what he refers to as “an imaginary me.” The producers specifically recruited him because they wanted the host role to be different and more theatrical than viewers expected. The Tony and Emmy Award winner was responsible for introducing the participants to the challenges and, often, managing their participation in the daily round table.
