What Would You Do? is listed among the top reality shows of all time in a recent Esquire magazine article.
“Narrated in the dulcet tones of John Quiñones, this long-running hidden camera series stages inappropriate or illegal situations performed by actors, then lies in wait to record bystander responses. Whether it’s racist discrimination in a hair salon, a uniformed veteran coming up short at the grocery store check-out, or college students spiking a young woman’s drink, the show tees up situations that beg for bystander invention, then revels in the reactions of people who can’t help but get involved...or those who can’t be bothered. You’ll be as disgusted by the moral bankruptcy of some bystanders as you are bowled over by the simple kindness of others.”
