On December 3, 2009, Fox announced that Kevin Pollak was to serve as host for the network's brand-new 2010 gameshow, Our Little Genius. The game was to feature 6-12 year-old children contestants who will attempt to answer trivia questions to win money for their families. A panel of adult experts were to be on hand as a "life line" for the children who will have the option to walk away with the money at any point in the game. It was being produced by Mark Burnett (of Survivor fame), and was scheduled to premiere on Wednesday, January 13, 2010.

The show was never aired after accusations emerged that producers had helped some of the child contestants to cheat by giving them answers in advance. Mark Burnett requested the show not be aired until the show's integrity was "beyond reproach".http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/tv/2010/02/22/2010-02-22_our_little_genius_yanked_fox_game_show_may_have_been_pulled_over_leaked_answers_.html The FCC has not confirmed whether or not it is investigating the show over the cheating allegations.
