About Identity

The show Identity ended on April 27, 2007, on NBC. It was a game show that aired for a single season from December 18, 2006, to April 27, 2007. The series featured a format where contestants tried to identify 12 strangers based on a list of traits, with the chance to win up to $500,000. The game involved keen perception and instincts, and the show was hosted by Penn Jillette, who is known for his work as a comedian and magician.

Identity was a primetime game show that combined elements of observation and deduction. Each episode presented a contestant with 12 strangers and a list of traits, ranging from professions to shoe sizes. The contestant selected a trait and attempted to match it to one of the strangers, earning increasing amounts of money with each correct match. If all 12 matches were correct, the contestant won the grand prize. The show also featured a viewer participation segment called the "Identity Challenge," offering a chance to win $10,000.

Penn Jillette was the sole cast member listed as host.
