PASSION DISTRIBUTION QUESTIONS EVERYTHING
19th August 2013 - Passion Distribution is pleased to announce a new acquisition for its upcoming MIPCOM 2013 slate, JOE ROGAN QUESTIONS EVERYTHING (6 x 60’). The show comes from the U.S.-based A. Smith & Co. Productions, and was presold by Passion to Bell Media in Canada.
The show centres round Joe Rogan, host of “Fear Factor” and life-long addict of unexplained phenomena, who is on a mission to unravel some of life’s most startling theories and biggest myths ever told. The series follows Rogan as he travels across the U.S. to meet experts in each field he’s investigating, finding both believers and cynics on the way. With subjects ranging from aliens to man’s quest for immortality, there is never a dull moment as Joe tirelessly explores his curiosity for the unknown.
In the first episode, Rogan delves into the mystery that is Bigfoot, we follow him as he meets so-called eyewitnesses, goes on a nocturnal hunt, and tests alleged Bigfoot DNA in a lab. The show saw great ratings in its U.S. debut, becoming Syfy’s most watched reality series premiere in the past 5 months and continues to grow week-over-week, with the second episode averaging 1.4 million viewers. “Joe Rogan Questions Everything” currently airs Wednesdays at 10pm on Syfy, and Space in Canada.
Emma Simpkins, Passion’s Director of Sales said “A comedian, Joe is also known for being a populariser of science through his widely followed podcasts, and this show definitely pushes the message that science is interesting in a fun way. It’s becoming cool to be smart, knowledgeable and critical and Questions Everything ticks all 3 boxes.”
