Real  high-stakes stories anytime you want them.

TRUTV

Snack-stealing monkeys; fighting grandmas; a guy solving Rubik's cubes in a Speedo.

Almost Genius

Down But Not Out

From the residents of a town called Dildo, to a base-jumping monkey, we celebrate those with gold aspirations, but bronze abilities.

Go for the Gold

Celebrating those with a skill for avoiding success, from a baby ninja warrior to a flopping pianist and a sloth with no concept of personal space.

Spectacular Defeat

From homemade haircuts, to guys rebooting their computer with a baseball bat; the still-frozen-on-the-inside microwave burritos of humanity.

Half Baked

From a piano-playing horse to a cliff jumper who thinks he's Mary Poppins; those who give it their all and still come up short.

If at First You Don't Succeed

Chris and April celebrate those who shoot for the moon and hit a tree on the way down; failure to launch has never been so fun.

So Close Yet So Far

A father-son beat boxing combo; a cat with a tissue issue; a dancer who's gone with the wind.

Flying Low

From a dad with a DIY roller coaster, to the world's smallest gymnast; highlighting those brave souls who think on their feet but don't always land on them.

No Cigar

From metal dudes with office jobs, to a gang of nude cyclists, proves those who aim high may come up a bit short.

There It Isn't

A bikini-clad nunchuck artist; the ultimate video remix battle.

Falling Short

Looking for people who give it their all despite not being all there; celebrating those who never give up, even though they probably should.

Hardly Working

Chris and April know cream rises to the top, but they're interested in the layer just below; tonight, they're digging deep to find the best no-getters out there.
