Update, January 30: Richard Osman says this was just a hoax.

Osman has since deleted his original tweets, as well as a tweet explaining it was all a joke.

He will also be the host of an upcoming US version.

Kanye West is reportedly set to appear on an upcoming episode of the celebrity edition of BBC quiz show Pointless, according to the host Richard Osman.

Ok! I'm not supposed to say this til Saturday, but it's too much fun to keep to myself. Kanye West is booked on #PointlessCelebrities! — Richard Osman (@richardosman) January 30, 2017

Pointless Celebrities is a game show where teams of two famous people are tasked to find “correct but obscure answers to general knowledge questions based on pre-conducted public surveys of 100 people from the UK.” Osman also reveals that a US version is on its way and that West will be the host: “He saw it on a trip to London and got hooked.”
