Adam hosted the TMZ-produced game show in 2016. It had an 8-week test run on some [[Fox Broadcasting Company|Fox]] owned affiliates including [[WWOR-TV]] in New York City. The game show was set at [[Dulan's]], a soul food restaurant in the historically African-American Crenshaw District in Los Angeles. The show grew out of a dare undertaken by [[Harvey Levin]] to get his hair trimmed at an inner-city barbershop. Levin learned that a number of celebrities frequented the barbershop, and so he sent Glyn around to the restaurants, bars, churches, gyms and tattoo parlors in Compton, Inglewood and other less-than-glitzy neighborhoods to discover other secret celebrity haunts. Glyn interviews the owners about their clientele, then plays the edited video packages for the "South of Wilshire" contestants, who must guess the identify of the star.
