‘WHAT WOULD YOU DO?’ FEATURES RELIGIOUS DISCRIMINATION, DISAPPROVING FATHER, RACISM AND MORE, ON JULY 7

‘What Would You Do?’ Airs Friday, July 7, on ABC

“What Would You Do?” uses actors to create provocative situations and hidden cameras to capture people’s genuine reactions. Anchor John Quiñones explores the choices people make when faced with these tough and sometimes uncomfortable scenarios. 

“What Would You Do?” airs Friday, July 7 (9:00-10:00 p.m. EDT), on ABC.

Friday, July 7 scenarios include:

  • A Muslim couple is waiting to be seated at a restaurant. They watch as non-Muslim customers coming in are seated before them. The hostess tells the two people they must wait for a booth in the back so they don’t make other diners uncomfortable.  How will bystanders react?
  • A diner asks other diners to watch his laptop while he takes a phone call outside a restaurant. They agree, and just as he steps away, someone tries to take the laptop. What will the diners do?
  • A son is coming out to his very traditional Latino father over lunch. The father makes it clear he will not accept his son’s sexual orientation, citing their culture and his beliefs as the primary reasons. What will the other people at the restaurant do?
  • Two people without disabilities park in an accessible spot because they don’t feel like parking in a spot further away. Will anyone say something? (OAD: 9/2/16)
  • In Arizona, a Hispanic man is working as a waiter. He is doing a good job, but the couple he is serving discriminate against him because of his race and ethnicity. They question his legal status in the United States and request another server. With whom will the other diners side?


“What Would You Do?” is executive produced by Danielle Rossen for Lincoln Square Productions.
