Celebrities turn circus freaks for NBC

joey fatone; celebrity circusFormer 'N Sync-er Joey Fatone has landed another hosting gig with NBC. He'll be at the ringmaster of NBC's updated version of Circus of the Stars, called Celebrity Circus. It's basically the same idea as the '80s show, where celebrities will attempt to master the high wire, trapeze, yada yada yada. Except it has the modern reality show must-have: a row of judges who will critique their performances.

Here are the "celebrities" who have agreed to participate:
  • Christopher Knight, aka 'Peter Brady'
  • Rachel Hunter, model
  • Antonio Sabato Jr.,
  • Blu Cantrell, singer
  • Janet Evans, Olympic swimmer
  • Jason "Wee Man" Acuna, of Jackass fame

Wow. That's a really boring list. I don't like or dislike any of them enough to care about whether they fall from the high wire or get eaten by a lion.

The 90-minute season premiere (and, I'll bet, season finale) is on June 11 at 9:30 pm. ABC had also planned to do a similar circus-style celebrity competition, but scrapped those plans because of NBC's similar show.
