Funnyman Adam Devine is taking his comedic talents to Quibi, the upcoming mobile-only streaming service shared on Thursday, where he\u2019ll star in a new series that sounds like \u201cJackass\u201d-meets-Anthony Bourdain.<\/p>\n
The show\u2019s working title, \u201cBad Ideas with Adam Devine,\u201d is fitting: the former \u201cWorkaholics\u201d star, according to Quibi\u2019s press release, will go to exotic locations to try some truly dangerous and bizarre stunts, including mending an underwater fence in piranha-infested waters. Other tricks up Devine\u2019s sleeve include going to a haunted house and trying to conjure a demon and entering a chili pepper eating content\u2026 even though he doesn\u2019t like spicy food and the contest features the spiciest peppers on earth.<\/p>\n
Each episode will feature Devine and a guest celebrity.<\/p>\n

Scotty Landes, Isaac Hornes, Mark Kadin, Will Ehbrecht and Jeff Sells will also serve as EPs. MAK Pictures is producing the show.<\/p>\n Landes is represented by Ginsburg Daniels, while Devine is represented by WME, Avalon Management and Barnes Morris Klein & Yorn.<\/p>\n Quibi is set to launch on April 6. It\u2019ll cost $4.99 per month for ad-supported streaming, and $7.99 for ad-free service. Founder Jeffrey Katzenberg and CEO Meg Whitman gave the world its first look at Quibi earlier this month at CES 2020 in Las Vegas and shared it\u2019ll have 175 new shows in its first year.<\/p>\n The duo\u2019s appearance came after Quibi spent much of 2019 greenlighting dozens of shows from a number of big stars, including Justin Timberlake, Jennifer Lopez, Bill Murray, Kris and Kendall Jenner, and Stephen Curry, among others. Quibi has picked up where it left off in the last few weeks, tapping \u201cRick & Morty\u201d co-creator Justin Roiland to lead a new claymation series,\u00a0Reese Witherspoon to narrate a docuseries on \u201cfierce\u201d female animals\u00a0and Bill Burr for his own comedy series.<\/p>\n Also Read:<\/strong> Bill Burr to Star in ‘Immoral’ Comedy Series for Quibi<\/p>\n Quibi is looking to separate itself from a growing list of streaming services by making episodes that are a maximum of 10 minutes long. In\u00a0an interview with TheWrap last week, Katzenberg said Quibi isn\u2019t worried about competition from services like Disney+ when it comes to winning over subscribers.<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019re in a marathon, not a sprint,\u201d Katzenberg said. \u201cDisney+ is a 100-year brand with the most valued and important generational IP on earth, ever. We\u2019re a different use case, and we don\u2019t have the same brand recognition. So we don\u2019t think we\u2019ll take off like a rocketship. We think it\u2019s something we build over the course of several years.\u201d<\/p>\n Read original story Adam Devine Is Ready to Explore \u2018Bad Ideas\u2019 on New Quibi Show At TheWrap<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
