A new quarantine special show is on the market, the premiere episode of which aired tonight. 'Celebrity Show-Off' on TBS features celebrities creating a compelling show out of their talent and the same would be uploaded to TBS's YouTube channel. The celebrity with the least engagement on the video goes home while another replaces them. The longer a celebrity stays on the show, the more money they raise for their choice of charity. 

Five celebrities competed against each other tonight on the premiere episode - Kevin Smith, Jason Mraz, Willis sisters (Rumer, Scout, and Tallulah), Bella Thorne, and Ja Rule. All of them gave viewers a hint of what they're capable of. Apart from their actual shows that are now uploaded to TBS's YouTube channel, all of them created something special to entertain the audiences.

First up was Mraz and he gave a tour of his 'Mragical Ranch' to the viewers while singing about his empty fridge, his cats, the mushrooms growing in his farm amongst other things. He also dressed up as avocado in the video and also did some roller skating. He even got Rob Thomas to do a cameo in his video. The Willis sisters did some 'Fear Factor' stunts like drinking donkey fluid, cow blood and bile. Bella Thorne along with her sister Dani did some ghostbusting around her new home. 

Then came the audience's favorites Ja Rule and Kevin Smith. Smith shot a sitcom with his wife Jennifer Schwalbach Smith, daughter Harley Quinn Smith and Harley's boyfriend, actor Austin Zajur. While Ja Rule shot a commercial for Los Angeles restaurant Papa Cristo's. He did it to fulfill his aim to help promote small businesses facing tough times in quarantine, via the show.  

Soon enough, comments cheering Smith and Rule started flowing in. "Kevin Smith Did His Thing Never Disappoints Keep Grinding Brotha. Oh Yea I Grew Up Watching Your Your Movies Funny As Hell," said one. "I NEVER knew @jarule was so hilarious!!! The rule for the win in my book #CelebrityShowOff," said another excited viewer. "#CelebrityShowOff Kevin Smiths sitcom was so funny. I would watch it on a weekly basis," vouched another eager fan. 

"Kevin Smith and Ja Rule have the goods, ready to see their next video!!#CelebrityShowOff" said a fan. "My vote is for Son-In-Lockdown by @ThatKevinSmith- I would totally watch this!! #CelebrityShowOff," said another. 

Another news that came in at the end of the episode was of the Willis sisters bowing out of the competition. Tori Spelling replaced them. Tune in next week to find out which one of these celebrities leave and get replaced by another. 

'Celebrity Show-Off' airs Tuesday nights on TBS Network.
