About My Man Can
In "My Man Can" (created by Redseven Entertainment) four women
gamble with the abilities of their partners - and put the men's
courage and skills to the test. If the woman claims "My Man Can"
eat 20 chilli peppers, he has to do so. If he performs the task,
she wins the jackpot. "My Man Can" has already been sold to over 30
countries, including Ukraine, Belgium, Spain, Netherlands, Denmark,
Lithuania and South Korea. "My Man Can" was a smash hit in China:
airing prime-time on Jiang Su Satellite Channel, the game show has
been the most successful foreign entertainment adaption in China in
2010. In 2013 it will premiere on ITV1 in the UK.
