G4's Proving Ground

If you've ever wondered if people could actually fly around on a broomstick a la Harry Potter, this show is for you. Video game personality Jessica Chobot and jovial "Jackass" cast member Ryan Dunn co-host this series where memorable pop-culture events get put to the test in the real world. Mechanical experts and prop masters use their skills to create experiments based on feats from movies, television and video games, which the "Proving Ground" guinea pigs then test out, often to disastrous results. Whether it's demonstrating the power of "the Force" from "Star Wars" or getting strapped into an amusement-park ride for a vomit-inducing G-force flight, Chobot, Dunn and the gang cheerfully give it the old college try.
