He will be producing and hosting a new reality show on Fox called "Knock Knock Live," the network said in a press release on Tuesday.

Premiering July 21 at 9 p.m., the show will feature Seacrest from its Los Angeles studios while a "Knock Knock" team surprises people with "life altering" prizes ranging from cash, visits from with their favorite celebrities, or the opportunity to fulfill their wildest fantasy.

But contestants will have to win the prize by either answering a question correctly or performing some other kind of challenge. Those questions could span from being asked to name nine kids who live on the block to playing a game of H-O-R-S-E.

Seacrest's production company will produce the show alongside Dick Clark Productions and "American Idol" creator Simon Fuller's XIX Entertainment.
