DALLAS—Call them America’s Couple. Mark Cuban, the mercurial owner of the Dallas Mavericks and HDNet, has teamed with Joe Francis, the notorious founder of Girls Gone Wild, to produce a 12-part series titled Girls Gone Wild Presents: Search for the Hottest Girl in America. The half-hour reality series will debut May 13 at 10 p.m. on HDNet.
As part of the series, say the creators, “viewers will climb aboard GGW's private jet and million-dollar tour bus as the Girls Gone Wild camera crews hit America's hottest clubs, campuses and beaches to meet thousands of wild college girls who will do anything to be voted the ‘Hottest Girl in America.’ Viewers will also get a peek inside the Girls Gone Wild offices, follow the exploits of CEO Joe Francis, watch sexy photo shoots for Girls Gone Wild Magazine, and travel with a dozen beautiful bikini models to exotic Girls Gone Wild Island.”
Already, thousands of girls from around the country have submitted photos and videos to Girls Gone Wild. Viewers of the series also will be invited to vote for their favorite girls. The show will culminate in a grand finale in which one lucky girl will be named "The Hottest Girl in America."
"We're very excited to work with the Girls Gone Wild team to launch this show," Cuban said. "The program is a cool, behind-the-scenes look at the GGW enterprise and a wild ride for our viewers. It's a perfect fit for the new, unrated, late-night programming block that we air as part of our 'Guys Night In' line-up every Thursday."
Francis was equally excited about both the show and his new collaborator. "Mark Cuban is a pioneer because he is constantly changing the game, and HDNet's cutting-edge programming is the most recent example. We're happy to be part of this entertainment revolution, and excited by the opportunity to share with viewers this behind-the-scenes look at Girls Gone Wild in action."
Following its debut airing, Search for the Hottest Girl in America will re-air the previous week's episode at 1 a.m. ET/10 p.m. PT, followed immediately by the premiere of the current week's episode at 1:30 a.m. ET/10:30 p.m. PT.
In related news, a notice was posted to Francis' website Friday about a 3D promotional shoot he made for the upcoming series. "The promo was shot at a hilltop mansion in Hollywood with state-of-the-art 3-D cameras. Joe proved to be the perfect spokesman for the future of this new technology, illustrating his point with the perfect visual aid: three beautiful girls in three small bikinis."
