Few shows provide the voyeuristic joys of The Joe Schmo Show. There’s just no substitute for taking one kind-hearted soul and placing him in a house filled with actors pretending to be his competition for a once-in-a-lifetime prize.

Yes, The Joe Schmo Show -- reality TV’s most insane social experiment -- is ready to launch. To prepare you for the strange and unpredictable world of the televised bounty hunter competition, we’re here to break down the cast.

Let’s take a look at some of the zany characters from the Spike TV series.

Allen (Rob Belushi) is everybody’s best bud. He’s the bro who’s there whenever you need him – and even when you don’t.

Chico (Lombardo Boyar) is an ex-gang banger who is trying to get his life sorted out by becoming a fully licensed bounty hunter. While doing hard time, he found religion and now sees chasing down the wanted as his true mission in life.

Chloe (Chelsey Crisp) is an up-and-coming model who is trying to become a worldwide brand – so what better way to do it then with a reality show about bounty hunters?

Lorenzo Lamas (Lorenzo Lamas) is the classic cautionary tale for Hollywood stars. With four ex-wives and six kids, Lamas looks at this reality show as a chance for him to find a new career. He needs the money -- just ask his ex-wives. Besides, nobody does Lorenzo Lamas quite like… Lorenzo Lamas!

Karlee (Joanna Newman) is an intense competitor. Karlee is out to prove that a hearing-impaired chick can kick ass loud and clear in reality TV competitions.

Stan (Fred Cross) As Karlee’s interpreter, Stan has his hands full – especially since he’s madly in love with his client.

Lavernius (Segun Oduolowu) is a man with a big secret. Lavernius is both bold and intense. The more physical the challenge, the more likely he will stomp you onto the D-List.

Randy (Michael Weaver) is a self-proclaimed A-hole. Randy is the obnoxious straw that stirs the drink.

"The Joe Schmo Show" premieres on Tuesday, Jan. 8, at 10 PM on Spike TV.
