But will they show all ten episodes?

From the Hollywood Reporter:

E! Entertainment Television is joining forces with Las Vegas fixture Wayne Newton to find the city’s next superstar performer.

The cable network said Thursday it has given the go-ahead to The Entertainer, a 10-episode reality drama series featuring Newton that’s set to debut in January.

The elimination-style series will feature 10 performers– including male and female vocalists, illusionists, comedians and specialty act performers– competing in performance challenges. Each week, Newton and a team of judges will whittle down the contestants until one winner remains. The last remaining contestant will perform alongside Newton during the series finale and also get the chance to become a featured performer in his Las Vegas show.

They’ve got ten weeks to line people up for this (if they havne’t already started). Gentlemen, ladies: Start your engines.
