David Dobrik to host new Discovery Channel dodgeball show Discovery Channel \/ The Hollywood Reporter[jwplayer mgzBNoPb] David Dobrik is one of YouTube\u2019s biggest stars, best known for his hilarious, fast-paced vlogs \u2014 but now, he\u2019s taking his talents to reality television with a brand-new competition show centered around the classic schoolyard game of dodgeball. Yep, you read that right; David Dobrik will soon become a television game show host for none other than the Discovery Channel, where he will pit groups of players against each other in an extreme version of dodgeball. The show, titled \u201cDodgeball: Thunderdome,\u201d will throw down on a 13.8-acre arena, and its competitors will include both professional athletes and contestants who may not be so sports-savvy. When will the first episode air? The first episode of Dodgeball: Thunderdome (hearkening back to the Mad Max title of Hollywood fame) will air on Wednesday, August 9 at 9 PM. Although Dobrik is a YouTuber first and foremost, fans will have to catch the action on TV via the Discovery Channel \u2014 not your laptop or smartphone. How will it work? This isn\u2019t any ordinary game of dodgeball: The Hollywood Reporter teased that, in this competition series, \u201cwinners are not determined simply by their strength and the losers aren\u2019t always picked last,\u201d hinting that there will be more challenges than just throwing a ball at the opposition. \u201cI\u2019m super excited to be working with Discovery on Dodgeball Thunderdome,\u201d Dobrik said of the upcoming show, as told by THR. \u201cDodgeball was always everyone\u2019s favorite game in gym class and hosting this show brings back many sweaty memories of dominating in Vernon Hills.\u201d How many episodes is Dobrik\u2019s new show? As revealed by The Hollywood Reporter on August 4, the show will be nine episodes long, with the final episode bringing back each winner for a special knockdown, drag-out battle of the champs. Considering Dobrik\u2019s penchant for crazy antics and insane pranks, this new series comes as little surprise from the YouTuber who\u2019s teamed up with the likes of Kevin Hart and even Howie Mandell in previous collaborations. Mark your calendars and set an alarm \u2014 this is one insane show fans won\u2019t want to miss!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
