In 2022, US network Fox partnered with Minnow Films to create an American adaptation of the popular British show, SAS: Who Dares Wins. The US version featured 16 celebrities enduring the intense challenges of the real Special Forces selection process in the unforgiving Jordanian desert of Wadi Rum. With no eliminations or votes, the show focused solely on the contestants' ability to survive the grueling experience.
The 16 celebrity recruits were Danny Amendola, Mel B, Hannah Brown, Tyler Florence, Kate Gosselin, Dwight Howard, Montell Jordan, Gus Kenworthy, Nastia Liukin, Carli Lloyd, Beverley Mitchell, Kenya Moore, Mike Piazza, Dr. Drew Pinsky, Anthony Scaramucci and Jamie Lynn Spears.
Having been a director on the first series of SAS Who Dares Wins, I couldn't resist the chance to come back and conduct all 16 master interviews.
