In a bold move to promote men’s health, Emmy- and Golden Globe-nominated actor Anthony Anderson is spearheading a star-studded initiative on FOX called ‘The Real Full Monty.’ This two-hour special, set to debut in Fall 2024, aims to raise awareness about prostate, testicular, and colorectal cancer testing and research by showcasing a group of male celebrities willing to bare it all.

The lineup for this event includes not only Anderson but also notable names like Taye Diggs, NFL player Chris Jones, Tyler Posey, Bruno Tonioli, and James Van Der Beek. Anderson, known for his roles in ‘black-ish’ and ‘We Are Family,’ is not just a participant but also an executive producer of the show.
‘The Real Full Monty’ draws inspiration from the acclaimed 1997 film and follows the journey of these celebrities as they prepare for a revealing performance. Choreographed by Emmy Award-winner Mandy Moore, the show will culminate in a strip-tease dance where the men will expose themselves in front of a live audience.
Anderson’s message is clear: “Don’t die of embarrassment. Get checked!” He hopes that by showcasing vulnerability and camaraderie, the show will encourage more men to prioritize their health and overcome the stigma associated with these types of cancers.
Throughout the special, viewers can expect to see the participants push their limits, both physically and emotionally, as they share personal stories about how cancer has affected their lives. The aim is not only to entertain but also to educate and inspire action.
‘The Real Full Monty’ is a testament to the power of media in addressing critical health issues while also delivering engaging content. With Anderson’s leadership and the support of a talented cast and crew, this special promises to make a lasting impact on viewers and communities alike.
Produced by Spun Gold TV and FOX Alternative Entertainment, ‘The Real Full Monty’ is poised to continue the legacy of its international success and become a milestone in raising awareness for men’s health concerns.
