Bamboozled is the game show hosted by Joey and Chandler in their Friends apartment.
The fictional program appears in “The One with the Baby Shower,” when Joey is involved with a game-show audition and later explains its complicated rules. The show’s deliberately confusing format becomes a running joke because even the characters struggle to understand how contestants win.
Bamboozled is presented as a low-budget production with elaborate stages, unusual scoring, and increasingly difficult rounds. Joey’s enthusiasm contrasts with Chandler’s skepticism, making the imaginary program a memorable example of the series’ playful treatment of television culture.
The title is sometimes confused with the actual Friends episode title “The One with the Baby Shower.” Bamboozled is the fictional game show within the episode, not the name of the episode itself.
