Jimmy Kimmel is heading to the Discovery Channel.
The late-night host is joining forces with some big names for a new hidden camera prank show tentatively titled Revenge of the Nerd.
The network has ordered eight episodes of the show, which will star YouTuber Mark Rober. Rober, NASA engineer-turned-YouTube luminary, is best known for taking his revenge on a porch thief with a glitter bomb faux package.
According to Deadline, Kimmel and Bober “will scour the planet to catch evil-doers in the act –- and punish them using homemade technology and creative engineering. Viewers will follow Rober and his brilliant team of ‘Avengineers’ as they identify troublemakers and build devices to teach them lessons they won’t likely forget.”
The new show was announced by Kimmer and Bober Tuesday’s episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live!
