June 27, 2023 Claim to Fame is a reality TV competition hosted by Kevin 'least famous' Jonas and Franklin 'the non-famous' Jonas in its second season, where all the contestants have some sort of relation to an A or B-list celebrity and live in a house. Each episode, they compete in games, decipher clues and forge alliances to determined who is forced to guess the famous celebrity someone else in the house is related to. If they guess correctly, their target will have to leave the show; guess wrongly, and they themselves must leave instead.
Tom Hanks's niece Carly Reeves made a striking impact on the one episode she lasted on the show: from twerking and rapping during the 'talent show' competition to her reckless gameplay, but of course the moment that went viral last night consisted of Carly's meltdown after fellow contestant Hugo correctly pegged her celebrity relation as Tom Hanks. After storming off the set sobbing, Carly is heard screaming and ranting while packing her bags, in an audio that is best heard yourself rather than described here.
The clip went uber viral and unsurprisingly, actual celebrities (ironically mostly nepo babies themselves) chimed in:
Wait what is this show lol

June 28, 2023 Claim to Fame airs Mondays at 8pm on ABC, right before The Bachelorette. It can also be found on Hulu by the next day.
ONTD, this is your cue to go watch Claim to Fame S1 as well - if you love celebrity trivia, reality TV strategy and drama, I can think of no better show to harmlessly pass your time with! That show was iconic from the first episode as well.
