Back during the Great Reality-TV Format-Piracy Battle of summer 2004, NBC president Jeff Zucker told a roomful of critics that FOX was working on two "secret" unscripted shows.

"I believe that one of them is called 'Who's My Daddy?,'" he said. He couldn't recall the name of the other.

Zucker's revelation caused some harrumphing from FOX executives, but as it turns out, he wasn't far off: FOX will air a 90-minute special called "Who's Your Daddy?," in which a young woman who was given up for adoption as a baby meets her biological father, on Monday, Jan. 3.

During the show, the woman will be introduced to eight men, each of whom says he is her father. She'll get a chance to interview each man and, based on the scant knowledge she has of her biological dad, eliminate the ones she thinks are lying.

And why would someone lie to a woman trying to find her father? Money. Should the daughter correctly guess which of the eight men is her dad, she'll win $100,000. If she picks one of the impostors, he gets the cash.

Either way, FOX promises to reunite father and daughter by the end of the show.

Finola Hughes, a former star of "All My Children" (get it?) and current host of the Style Network's "How Do I Look?," will host the special. "Who's Your Daddy?" is executive produced by "Scare Tactics" creators Scott Hallock and Kevin Healey along with Ken Mok ("America's Next Top Model").
