TWO TEAMS OF TWO FACE OFF EACH WEEK TO GRAB-AND-GO PRIZES BEFORE TIME RUNS OUT, IN THE ACTION-PACKED NEW GAME SHOW HOSTED AND EXECUTIVE PRODUCED BY DAMON WAYANS JR., “RAID THE CAGE,” FRIDAYS AT 9 PM

Get in, get out, get rich! Actor and comedian Damon Wayans Jr. hosts and executive produces the action-packed new game show where strategy, teamwork and nerve are key to winning big every Friday night. In the series, co-hosted by Emmy winner Jeannie Mai, two teams of two face off to grab-and-go prizes from the “cage” before their time runs out and the doors close. Correctly answering trivia questions adds seconds to the clock, giving teammates more time to grab prizes ranging from cool trips to electronics and even a new car! After three lively rounds, the team that banks the highest total dollar value in prizes wins the game, keeps what they grabbed and plays the final round to try and “beat the cage” for an even bigger cash prize. RAID THE CAGE airs Fridays (9:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network, and streaming on Paramount+(live and on demand for Paramount+ with SHOWTIME subscribers, or on demand for Paramount+ Essential subscribers the day after the episode airs)*.
