Testees is a Canadian TV show developed by Kenny Hotz, who also co-wrote and produced the series alongside Derek Harvie. The program originally broadcast on FX from October 9, 2008, until January 1, 2009, and premiered in Canada on Showcase on October 14, 2008. Production took place in Toronto and Hamilton, Ontario. The series lasted for a single season before FX decided against renewing it.

Premise

The storyline centers around two friends (Steve Markle and Jeff Kassel) employed as human guinea pigs at Testico, a facility dedicated to product testing. The show's title is a pun on "testes," highlighting the precarious position of the test subjects, which forms the basis for much of the comedic content. Throughout the season, each episode depicts the main characters undergoing trials of different pharmaceutical products, alongside ongoing narrative developments.
