Jamie Foxx will host the new interactive game show Beat Shazam that pits teams of two against the clock and each other as they attempt to identify the biggest hit songs of all time. In the end, the team with the most money banked will outlast the competition and go against “Shazam,” the world’s most popular song identification app, for the chance to win a huge cash prize.

During each episode of the series, the teams will go ear-to-ear for the chance to Beat Shazam. In each round, Jamie Foxx will present a choice of two music categories, ranging from “’80s Favorites” to “Beyoncé Hits.” Teams will hear a song and try to identify its correct title before all the other teams. As the rounds progress, quicker pairs will continue building their banks, while players with the lowest dollar amount will be eliminated until only one team remains. That team will play man-versus-machine and attempt to Beat Shazam!

Beat Shazam was created by Jeff Apploff and is produced by Apploff Entertainment and MGM Television in association with Shazam. Mark Burnett, Jeff Apploff, Rich Riley, Lauren Zalaznick and Jamie Foxx will serve as executive producers.

Beat Shazam begins May 25 on Fox and will air every Thursday, 8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT. Check the trailer below.
