TLC is kicking off the New Year with a new reality show hosted by Michael Urie from ABC’s “Ugly Betty.”
Miss America: Reality Check brings all 52 beauty queens together to live under one roof to undo everything they have learned about pageant basics and determine if their smarts, attitudes and looks hold up in contemporary society. Led by host Urie, the girls participate in an intense set of events and challenges designed to prepare them for the finale event, a renewed competition that will redefine what it takes to be Miss America, a relatable and individual ‘it girl’ who can connect with today’s modern woman.

“The Miss America of today is more than a pretty face,” says Brant Pinvidic, senior vice president of programming for TLC. “These are remarkable women who have made great contributions to their communities. We want to give America the chance to get to know these women and follow their journey as they strive to obtain the Miss America title on January 26 in Las Vegas.”
Miss America: Reality Check premieres Jan. 4 with a four-part HD special. The Miss America Live! finale takes place on Saturday, Jan.y 26, 8-10 PM (ET live/PT tape-delayed).
