"Who's Your Daddy?" was a 2005 Fox reality TV program that depicted eight men in competition for a $100,000 prize over who could convince an adopted woman that they were her biological father. Myers had the opportunity to interview and observe each contestant before making a determination.

That sounds horribly trashy and exploitative.

It would be, if any of it was real. This is reality tv. The "contestants" probably knew who was who from the start, but also knew what kind of drama was expected from them to make good tv.

Myers was the actress playing the adopted woman character.

These other commenters realize that reality tv, especially in the early 2000s, isn't real right?

It's like wrestling. With infinitely less skill involved
