'''''Trust Me, I'm a Game Show Host''''' is a GameShow that airs on TBS. It is hosted by D. L. Hughley and Michael Ian Black. The premise of the game show is for contestants to play a variant of [[KnightsAndKnaves the Knights and Knaves Puzzle]]. In each round, both hosts will give a statement that's unique, odd, or seemingly implausible. However, one of the given statements is 100% certifiably true, and it is up to the contestant to choose which one of the hosts is telling the truth. A correct pick earns the contestant money.

* BonusMaterial: Far from wasting time with excessive padding, the show features extra footage of jokes and comments of the two hosts shooting down each other's answers during the end credits that were trimmed from the show proper.

* ColourCodedForYourConvenience: Green - Right Host: You Win, Red - Wrong Host: You Lose.
* IDidWhatIHadToDo: When contestants pick the wrong host, that host will generally say a variation of "Hey, I didn't want to do it, they made me lie to you!"
* LuckBasedMission: The facts tend to be very obscure, and the hosts are really good at presenting cases for their answers, so it really is more or less luck on if you can pick which one is telling the truth.
* KnightsAndKnaves: One fact is true, the other is false. Can you guess which fact is true?
** Unlike other Knights and Knaves puzzles, each question is treated as an individual puzzle, so just because one host lied about one answer doesn't necessarily mean they'll lie about the next. (Although the hosts tend to say things along the lines "Look, he lied to you twice! Why don't you trust me?")
