Riot is an American game show comedy television series from Fox and based upon the Australian Slide Show television series,[1] itself based upon the Arthur-created French program Vendredi tout est permis ("On Fridays, Anything Goes with Arthur", aka Anything Goes), where two teams of celebrities competed in a number of challenges and games, including one on a huge set that tilts at 22½ degrees.[2][3] Hosted by Rove McManus, weekly episode "guest" captains include a rotating set of actors, with Andy Buckley and Steve Carell "captaining" the premiere episode.[4][5] Riot was canceled by Fox on June 12, 2014.[6]
