Gayme Show (stylized as GAYME SHOW!) is an American unscripted comedy show that debuted April 6, 2020 as a part of the premiere content roll out for mobile streaming service Quibi.
In each episode, two straight-identifying contestants go head-to-head with a celebrity “life partner” as they face a series of physical and mental challenges. The winner of each round is given the tongue-in-cheek title of “Queen of the Straights.”{{Cite web|url=https://www.huffpost.com/entry/quibi-gayme-show-series-preview_n_5e7ec959c5b6cb9dc1a0ba9c|title=Quibi's 'Gayme Show!'
