Who's Your Daddy? was a short-lived Fox reality television program hosted by Emmy-winning soap opera actress Finola Hughes. The first of six planned episodes aired in January 2005 to low ratings and a torrent of hostile press attention, prompting Fox to shelve the remaining shows indefinitely. They have since appeared on Fox Reality. For the show's premise, an adult who had been put up for adoption as an infant was placed in a room with 25 men, one of whom was their biological father.

  • Who's Your Daddy? was a short-lived Fox reality television program hosted by Emmy-winning soap opera actress Finola Hughes. The first of six planned episodes aired in January 2005 to low ratings and a torrent of hostile press attention, prompting Fox to shelve the remaining shows indefinitely. They have since appeared on Fox Reality. For the show's premise, an adult who had been put up for adoption as an infant was placed in a room with 25 men, one of whom was their biological father. If the contestant could correctly pick out who was their father, the contestant would win $100,000. If they chose incorrectly, the person that they incorrectly selected would get the $100,000, although the contestant would still be reunited with his or her father. This show drew controversy from adoption rights organizations, leading to one Fox affiliate declining to air the series pilot, a 90-minute special. The show was quickly parodied on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and This Hour has 22 Minutes when it became public that the first adoption contestant was actress T. J. Myers, who had worked in such R-rated movies as The Dallas Connection (1994) and Seduction of Innocence (1995). Evoking the suggestive title of the latter film, Jay Leno said "This wasn't the first time she was in a room full of men screaming 'Who's your daddy?'" After the pilot finished fourth in the Nielsen ratings for its time slot, Fox decided not to broadcast the other five episodes that had been produced. However, the pilot aired as a 'special' and not as a 'series premiere' so technically the series was canceled before airing an episode.
