Killer Karaoke is an American karaoke game show that was broadcast on the truTV cable channel. The series debuted on November 23, 2012 and features contestants attempting to sing in front of a live studio audience while various bizarre attempts are made to disrupt their performances.[2] It is based on the British game show Sing If You Can. In the first season, the program was presented by Steve-O with Dee Snider as the announcer.[3] It was announced on September 16, 2013, that the series has been renewed for an eight-episode second season with Mark McGrath replacing Steve-O as host.[1][4] Steve-O said that he was fired after expressing his discomfort with the show's treatment of animals.[5]

Season 2 premiered on February 20, 2014,[1][4] and the full season premiere episode has been uploaded on truTV's YouTube channel on February 18.[6]
