Roku® is bringing Eye Candy, a sweet, new competition series based on the hit Japanese game show, Sokkuri Sweets, produced by Nippon TV, to The Roku Channel. The series puts teams of celebrities and civilians together as they attempt to identify outrageous edible creations designed to look like everyday ordinary objects.

The new series will be hosted by Grammy and Emmy-nominated singer, songwriter, and actor, Josh Groban. Celebrity guests of the series include Jamie Chung, Bryan Greenberg, Michelle Buteau, Rachel Dratch, Ana Gasteyer, Tiki Barber, Melissa Gorga, Caroline Manzo, Jeremy Jordan, Bridget Everett, Nico Tortorella, Aparna Nancherla, Nina Agdal, and Michael Ian Black.

The series is executive produced by Jimmy Fox, Linda Lea, Soichiro Shimada and Tom Miyauchi (Nippon TV), Chrissy Teigen, and Luke Dillon (3 Arts Entertainment); co-executive produced by Stephanie Valentin, Amy Stanford, and Charlie Van Vleet; and produced by Main Event Media, an All3Media America company, Huntley Productions and Good Egg Entertainment.

Tom Miyauchi, Head of Formats, International Business Development, Nippon TV said, “The sweet, fun sensation of Sukkuri Sweets took Japan by storm with stellar ratings on Nippon TV networks. Eye Candy is produced sweeter and more hilarious than ever, and it will be a tasteful addition to Ruku Original programs.”
