It takes a lot to get me excited these days, but the Travel Channel did just that today when they announced that they are bringing back Ripley’s Believe It or Not with the legendary Bruce Campbell as a host. The 10-episodes will debut this summer and film at their main museum in Orlando, Florida.
This is not the first time that Ripley’s has been on TV. The show ran for two seasons in 1949 and was hosted by Robert Ripley until his death. After his died, his friends filled in for him. Back in the ’80s, ABC gave it a try with hosts like Jack Palance and Marie Osmond. Then at the turn of the millennium, it was time for Dean Cain to take over the duties on TBS.
Throughout the decades, we watched people do things we would never believe could be done. Then when they did, it was so thrilling to witness. I cannot wait to see what they attempt this go around. You know they have to up the danger with Campbell as a host. Believe It or Not?
Plus, I love all the factoids they reveal between stunts.
