STerry Crews and Nick Lachey star in season one of NBC’s Stars Earn Stripes, a reality series hosted by General Wesley Clark, Retired. The one-hour series joins the primetime lineup on August 13, 2012.
The Plot: In this fast-paced competition, the eight celebrities will gather at a remote training facility where they will be challenged to execute complicated missions inspired by real military exercises. From helicopter drops into water, to long range weapons fire, the contestants will be tested physically, mentally and emotionally.
Each will be paired with a special operative from a military branch or one of our first-responder forces, including former U.S. Army Delta Force and Green Berets, U.S. Navy SEALS, U.S. Marines, and police officers, who will train alongside their partner and compete in the missions with them. Each of the teams is competing for a cash prize on behalf of a military, veterans or first-responder charity.
Committed to hiring recent vets on the crew, Stars Earn Stripes hopes to inspire other employers throughout the country to make similar commitments to our returning heroes and to show audiences just how incredible these heroes’ service missions really are.
