Claim to Fame is an American reality competition series that premiered on ABC on July 11, 2022. The series is hosted by Kevin Jonas and Frankie Jonas. A second season premiered in June 2023.
Twelve contestants, each of whom has a famous relative, move into a house together and are tasked with deducing which celebrities the other contestants are related to while also keeping their own celebrity relationship a secret. Every episode, the contestants participate in a competition. The winner is granted immunity for the round and a bonus clue about another contestant.
At the end of the episode, the contestants secretly vote between the two lowest-ranked performers in the competition to be the round's "guesser". The guesser will then choose any other non-immune contestant and announce which celebrity they think the other contestant is related to. If the guesser is correct, the other contestant will be eliminated; if the guesser is wrong, the guesser will be eliminated instead.
The final contestant remaining wins $100,000.

Stephanie Morgan of Common Sense Media gave the series two stars out of five and said that the show will, "appeal only to viewers old enough to recognize the celebrities referenced," adding on, "many of the celebrities are either too niche, or too old, for younger viewers to recognize -- making the big reveals less and less satisfying."[42] Entertainment Weekly described the show as, "a bit of a Frankenstein's monster — part Big Brother, part The Masked Singer, a pinch of The Other Two", saying that, "It's almost impossible not to play along".[43]
