Earning their place in history, one record at a time, MTV will introduce its newest band of heroes in the hilarious new series CALL TO GREATNESS. Premiering Monday, April 3rd at 10:30pm ET/PT, the new series follows five fearless team members on a mission to break as many of the most insane and ridiculous feats on record from "Most Self-Kicks to the Head" to "WorldÕs Fastest Living Room". CALL TO GREATNESS will follow an all-new season of PUNK´D which will premiere at 10:00 pm ET/PT.
"CALL TO GREATNESS is a fun and courageous ride, combining elements of competition, travel and pure comedy that will win you over as the guys dare to break these records," said Lois Curren, Executive Vice President, Entertainment and Programming, MTV. "It is a great addition to our Monday night line-up, and perfect partner for PUNK´D which continues to be an MTV mainstay with this hilarious new season."
CALL TO GREATNESS follows five daring team members, bound together by the same singular goal - shatter as many world records as humanly possible, regardless if it´s inane, insane, or straight up ridiculous. Their pursuit takes them across the country in search of glory, honor, and the home of the current world record holders. From Death Valley, CA to the Florida Keys, the CALL TO GREATNESS team challenges some of the most extreme and outlandish World Record holders to the ultimate test - break or be broken. Known, unknown, or created on the spot, the CALL TO GREATNESS team takes aim on every kind of record including "Most Spitballs Taken to the Face in One Minute," "Furthest Spaghetti Nasal Ejection," and the world´s first ever "Hearse Jump" to name a few.
Meet the CALL TO GREATNESS Team:
Drew - He has a charming, mischievous, magnetic personality with a smile to burn your corneas. Drew will do anything it takes to break a record (or just kick some ass!). This born leader and prankster is also the MC of the show.
Ghost - The charming, real-life hulk that smashes all records in his path. A former college athlete, he´s the rock star of record breakers. His trademark victory vomits are quickly making this man into a living legend.
Rainbow - Born in Montana on a Blackfoot Indian reservation, he´s a Zen-like, tattooed, fire-eating, badass with charisma out the ying yang. Part rapper and part martial arts master, heÕ´s got a style and a flavor all his own.
Andreas - Steve McQueen reborn, he´s chill as ice when a record is on the line.
By getting decked out in 70´s athletic gear, Andreas ensures that our records are always going down with style.
Paul - Referred to as the future of comedy, Paul´s superhero persona meets Night Ranger with a splash of John Belushi. He´s a singing, gun-slinging record breaking machine.
