There are more than a few ways to describe ABC’s new game showThe Hustler.
You could call itWho Wants to Be a Millionaireby way ofAgatha Christie.
Host Craig Ferguson, when speaking to EW, compared it toThe Bachelor.
And then it has an almost murder mystery feel about it, too.
I love that."
Despite being the host, Ferguson also has no idea who the Hustlers are when filming the show.
“I’m playing the game along with everyone else,” he notes.
“So I am as much a detective as any of the contestants.”
“I always thought I would be pretty good as a detective, but I’m not!
I’m terrible at it,” Ferguson says with a laugh.
“I think it’s because I’m an optimistic person.
I try and see the good in people.
I’m a little too Anne of Green Gables to be a good detective.”
The Hustlerpremieres Monday at 10 p.m. ET/PT on ABC.
