MUMBAI: Ben Lyons, the E! Network‘s resident film critic and an entertainment correspondent, has been tapped to host Nickelodeon‘s new extreme sports competition series, My Family‘s Got Guts. The primetime series will premiere on Nickelodeon on 15 September.
Currently under production, the series is created and produced by the digital entertainment studio Worldwide Biggies. Lyons will be joined by a co-host, popular Australian TV personality Asha Kuerten.
Ben Lyons will take over the reigns from Roger Ebert and Richard Roeper to star in the next generation of the series alongside Ben Mankiewicz.
In My Family‘s Got Guts, each episode will feature two teams of four players (two adults and two kids from the same family) who gather to compete against each other in multiple rounds of events. In the final round, the families face off on a new updated 3D, a version of the original Guts‘ Aggro Crag fantasy mountain. The team with the most points going into the Crag round wins a time advantage, but the team who wins the Crag round wins the game.
