What is Fred Savage doing these days? Well, we will “wonder” no more! He’s got a new gig!

The beloved actor is set to return to ABC, the network work that made him a star way back in the day. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Fred will host Ricky Gervais’ new game show, Child Support. Originally called Five to Survive, the show will feature adult contestants that have to answer 10 questions correctly in order to win the prize. If they need some help, the contestant may ask a group of children, ages 6-9 what they think. Ricky will be asking the questions of the kids, so you can imagine the hilarity that will ensue there!

Fred thinks this idea makes total sense. He said, “When I’m stumped, I turn to Google and my kids. I had no idea there was a television show in that, but now that there is, I’m thrilled to be a part of it.”

Production will begin next week in Los Angeles.
