TBS Greenlights Bam’s Bad Ass Game Show
Jackass star Bam Margera is heading to TBS in a half-hour competition series for 2014 called Bam’s Bad Ass Game Show. Each week, contestants will compete against each other in unusual, potentially dangerous and sometimes painful challenges. Case point: Answering trivia questions while dangling above a pool of trash-filled water or dropping a watermelon on a target after being shot out of a cannon. It is the Fear Factor of game shows, and six episodes have been ordered.
