DESCRIPTION:
(from GSN's press release, March 2017) From escaping a straitjacket to putting on your pants without using your hands, the internet is filled with an endless supply of insane do-it-yourself (DIY) videos. With tutorials covering every topic imaginable, these quirky videos often leave us wondering ... who figured that out and why? D.I. WHY? puts contestants to the test as they try to follow instructions and re-create outrageous challenges under the pressure of a ticking clock. The more tasks they complete, the more money they earn. The show will be hosted by the unconventional and unorthodox Josh Ostrovsky (aka The Fat Jewish) and produced by Studio 71 for GSN. Executive producers are Rabih Gholam and Gary Binkow of Studio 71. Michael Agbabian and Dwight Smith of Mission Control serve as consulting producers.
