There have been a few celebrities who have pitched on Shark Tank, like Rob Gronkowski, Metta World Peace, and David Schwimmer. This season, they can add one more name to that list, and it is Pete Davidson.
Today, ABC released a clip of the comedian pitching his sock company, DoubleSoul, with the founder, Ben Rosenbaum. The two men are asking for $500,000 for 4% of their company.
Since Mark Cuban is no longer part of the show, it will be interesting to see if anyone makes him an offer. This so would have been up the billionaire’s alley.
BTW, am I the only one who is bummed that Davidson didn’t go into the Tank with Colin Jost to try to sell their Staten Island Ferry?
Shark Tark debuts on its new night, September 24th.
ABC was handing out roses today, and they were given to American Idol, America’s Funniest Videos, Celebrity Jeopardy, Celebrity Wheel of Fortune, and Shark Tank.
However, The Bachelor is still waiting to find out if it will be returning for another season. It is not alone because ABC also put The Bachelorette on pause this Summer.
While their fate is still in jeopardy, The Golden Bachelor has already been picked up for another season, with Mel Owens, a 66-year-old former NFL veteran-turned-lawyer, as the dating show’s leading man.
Personally, I am surprised they picked up Shark Tank for another season without Mark Cuban. Its ratings are going to drop faster than the stock market whenever Trump announces new tariffs. Plus, who else wishes they would deport Mr. not-so Wonderful back to Canada?
Mark Cuban has spent a lot of his own money during his 14 seasons on Shark Tank. So, which is his favorite investment?
Today, when he was on Good Morning America, George S. asked him that question and a few others.
Cuban’s favorite investment has thrown his money down the toilet. That is because it is Dude Wipes. You know, baby wipes for big babies, I mean men.
It sounds like a silly product, but they have made almost $100 million so far. Not bad!
When it comes to the most memorable pitch, it is a silly one. It was a cat tongue brush that you put in your mouth to brush your master. What made it so memorable is that Robert Herjavec tried it on a kitty, and he hasn’t lived it down.
What is the one that got away? That title belongs to Spike Ball. It annoys him every time he sees his friends’ kids play it.
What is he looking forward to now that his time is done on the ABC show? Spending time with his family! I wonder if they can say the same thing. Joking. Of course, they can. He doesn’t have to call himself Mr. Wonderful to be Mr. Wonderful.
Shark Tank returns to ABC on Friday for Cuban’s final season.
Last season, Mark Cuban announced that he would be leaving Shark Tank at the end of this season. That means ABC needs to find a replacement Shark, and it appears that they found it in Kind Snacks’ founder, Daniel Lubetzky, who has been promoted to a regular Shark.
“As a guest Shark for the past five seasons, Daniel has earned his spot with the Sharks,” says executive producer Clay Newbill. “He is a self-made founder of a multibillion-dollar company, has all the qualities we look for in a Shark, and possesses an authentic desire to help entrepreneurs grow their businesses. Daniel is a welcome addition to our panel, and we look forward to working with him for many seasons to come.”
While Lubetzky has been promoted from guest to full-time Shark, these are the moguls who are still guests for the Sweet 16 season: Todd Graves, Forbes Billionaire List, owner and founder of Raising Cane’s; Jamie Kern Lima, co-founder of IT Cosmetics and host of The Jamie Kern Lima Show; Rashaun Williams, venture capitalist, Atlanta Falcons limited partner and financial literacy activist; and returning Guest Shark Kendra Scott, philanthropist and founder behind the eponymous global lifestyle brand, Kendra Scott.
Shark Tank is back with new episodes on October 18th.
ABC sent all of their unscripted series to Hollywood, and seven of them made it to the 2024-2035 season.
The lucky seven are American Idol (season 8 on ABC and 23rd overall), The Bachelor (season 29), and Celebrity Jeopardy! (season 3), Celebrity Wheel of Fortune (season 5), Dancing with the Stars (season 33), Shark Tank (season 16), and What Would You Do? (season 17).
ABC is going to be busy this summer looking for a replacement for Katy Perry, who is leaving American Idol at the end of this season. The network also needs to start looking at who can fill Mark Cuban’s wallet because the mogul announced that next season will be his last on Shark Tank.
