Of the three Jonas' who make up the popular band, Kevin Jonas has always been the lesser known brother. He is now teaming up with their even lesser-known brother, the young Frankie Jonas, to host a reality TV show! Frankie has previously been seen as a child accompanying the Jonas Brothers on the red carpet, but now he's all grown up and ready to get his own career started. The concept of their show very much plays on their reputation as the less famous Jonas brothers. 'Claim to Fame' is a competition involving 12 contestants who have famous last names, but are stepping outside of their celebrity families to make it on their own. They are all be put into a house 'Big Brother' style while concealing their famous heritage, as they go through various competitions to win a chance at fame and fortune.
The male sibling in the Kardashian empire had mostly stayed out of the spotlight, until his complicated relationship with Blac Chyna drew public attention in 2017. Since their split, he once again faded into the background.

Charlie Sheen’s older brother is well known is his own right, but you have to admit you sometimes forgets he exists. But we got a reminder in March 2021, when 'The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers' premiered on Disney+.

Where you might have seen him: ‘Grimm,’ ‘Homicide: Life on the Street,’ or ‘Grey Gardens.’
Where you might have seen him: ‘Gentle Ben,’ ‘The Waterboy,’ or ‘Arrested Development.’
