Nepo Baby of the Week: Tom Hanks’ Niece Wishes You Didn’t Know Who Her Uncle Is

Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned. And by “sinned,” I mean I haven’t been watching the hilarious and apparently very melodramatic reality show Claim to Fame, a competition involving non-famous relatives of celebrities.

Maybe it’s because the ABC show hasn’t experienced any viral attention until now that I haven’t been compelled to check it out. Originally, I thought it was a talent competition for aspiring nepo babies whose famous parents refused to book them auditions. (Although, now that I think about it, “Who Wants To Be a Nepo Baby?” is a great concept for a show.) I also assumed the celebrities the contestants were related to were, like, sixth-billed sitcom stars from the ’80s and not anyone I would care about.
