Jesse Ventura to Investigate Conspiracy Theories
NEW YORK, NY (PRNewswire) — Jesse Ventura, a man who has lived a dangerous life, is about to explore mysteries behind the most compelling modern day conspiracy theories for truTV. Production of a pilot featuring Ventura begins in October.
Ventura will travel across America, investigating cases and getting input from believers and skeptics to make a final determination about a theory’s validity.
Ventura embodies truTV’s promise to bring viewers real-life, high-stakes action and fascinating characters. Ventura was a U.S. Navy frogman/SEAL; a famous professional wrestler; mayor of Brooklyn Park, Minn.; and governor of Minnesota. All the while, Ventura maintained his reputation as a rebel and free-thinker.
Ventura is passionate about the world of conspiracy theories and holds non-traditional opinions on many of them. He has no qualms about questioning authority and seeking truth. No matter how dangerous, who is involved or what is uncovered, Ventura will hunt down answers, plunging viewers into a world of secret meetings, midnight surveillance, shifty characters and dark forces.
Ventura stated “I’ve been a mayor; I’ve been a governor. Now, I get to be a detective, and seek the truth.”
“We are thrilled to be working with Jesse Ventura and with our production partners at A. Smith & Co.,” said Marc Juris, executive vice president and general manager at truTV. “Jesse is a savvy, high-energy and highly intellectual person. Above all, he’s someone who is as real as they come.”
“This show will tackle some of the most popular conspiracy theories. Who better than Jesse Ventura to get to the bottom of each and reveal the truth?” said executive producer Arthur Smith of A. Smith & Co. “There is also no better place to exhibit the show than on truTV, which has an audience prepared to join Jesse on each of his investigations.”
