Blake Shelton To Co-Host/Exec Produce New Show, ‘Barmageddon’
Just days after announcing that he's leaving The Voice, we’re learning that Blake Shelton is going to be working on another reality/competition show. And again, he’s teaming up with The Voice‘s Carson Daly. According to People, the game show, called Barmageddon, will take place in Shelton’s Nashville bar, Ole Red. It will be hosted by WWE Hall of Famer, Nikki Bella. Shelton, Bella and Daly will invite their celebrity friends to compete in a bunch of weird bar games.
“Barmageddon is a show where the celebrities you love give viral video sensations a shot at redemption, playing some crazy games,” Daly says in the trailer. “It’s a show that’s shot right here in Nashville, Tennessee, in Blake’s bar, Ole Red. This is your home,” he says to Blake. “This is your bar.”
Blake notes, “I have literally slept here.”
People reports, per the trailer, that contestants include Gwen Stefani, Sheryl Crow, Sasha Banks, Brie Bella, Trace Adkins, Tennessee Titans coach Mike Vrabel, Lil Rel Howery, Malin Akerman, Chris Young, Jimmie Johnson, Clint Bowyer, Jay Pharoah, Martin Kove, Kane Brown, and Elle King.
According to Daly, the celeb contestants play games “that are basically in your local bar, but they’re just bigger and better.” Some of those games include air cannon cornhole, keg curling and other twists on classic bar games. He also explains that even if competitors lose a game, they have a chance to spin the “Wheel of Redemption” to save themselves. “If they’re willing to do what’s on that wheel, you’re right back in the game,” he says. That might include taking a shot made with tequila, tabasco sauce and mayonnaise, a penalty that Sheryl Crow had to deal with.
Barmageddon premieres Monday, Dec. 5 at 11 p.m. ET/PT on USA Network.
