The Discovery Channel (DStv 121) has commissioned a new series, Rob Riggle: Global Investigator, with comedian Rob Riggle with the show that will follow him as he travels across the globe trying to solve some of the world's greatest mysteries.
Rob Riggle: Global Investigator is produced for Discovery Channel by Will Packer, Will Packer Media, Anomaly Entertainment, and Haunted Steel Mill in association with Hazmat Productions.
"Rob Riggle's thirst for adventure is only matched by his extreme confidence in his own abilities. We're thrilled to be working with him and can't wait to show our viewers Rob's unique take on some of the world's biggest mysteries," says Nancy Daniels, chief brand officer, for Discovery & factual, in a statement.
Rob Riggle says "I couldn't be happier to be working with Discovery on another project. After taming sharks with Shaq in the Bahamas for Shark Week, I can't wait to travel the world exploring some of our greatest mysteries".
Will Packer, executive producer and CEO of Will Packer Media, says "Global Investigator is feeding into an untapped intersection of comedy and adventure. I can't think of anything more fun than hanging with Rob Riggle and travelling around the world".
In each episode, Rob Riggle who is also one of the executive producers, will use his self-proclaimed "extensive knowledge of everything" to explore a mystifying legend that takes him on an epic adventure around the world.
He will meet local guides to help him along the way and invite people who don't think he's up to the challenge to accompany him, eventually proving them wrong.
"Relying on his mental toughness and self-taught high-performance karate, Riggle will take on some of the biggest challenges and most daring adventures he's ever faced."
