The upcoming spin-off of "Big Brother" also features "The Cosby Show" star Keshian Knight Pulliam, "Hairspray" actress Marissa Janet Winokur and Ariadna Gutierrez, the latter of whom was announced as Miss Universe in 2015 when host Steve Harvey read the wrong name. Chuck Liddel, who is a former mixed martial artist and a former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion, and Ross Matthews, who serves as a judge on "RuPaul's Drag Race", will also join the other Houseguests.
