Viewers looking to avoid Nick Cannon and Kevin Hart‘s new game show — “Who’s Having My Baby?” — won’t have to do much work, considering it may not be real.

On Tuesday, father-of-12 Cannon and “Jumanji” star Hart announced “Who’s Having My Baby?” with matching show trailers shared on social media. In the clip, also shared by E!, Hart informs an audience of women that they’re actually “on a game show right now.”

“You’re going to get some contestants that wanna have your baby,” Hart tells Cannon as several women walk onstage.
