In a recent episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live, actor and model Josh Duhamel made an appearance to talk about his new show, Buddy Games. Duhamel, who is known for his roles in movies and TV shows, discussed his upcoming projects and even revealed some surprising personal details.
During the interview, Duhamel shared that he recently got married and is now expecting a baby. He humorously mentioned that his wife wouldn’t allow him to reveal the gender, fearing that he might slip up and ruin the surprise. He also joked about how while his friends are sending their kids off to college or becoming grandparents, he is starting his own family from scratch.
One interesting fact that came up during the conversation is that Duhamel is a doomsday prepper. He explained that it started as a small project to build a cabin in the woods but eventually grew into something bigger. He revealed that he now has a fully equipped cabin deep in the northern part of the US. The cabin includes essentials like solar and gasoline generators, along with provisions for hunting and fishing. However, when asked about the location of his cabin, he playfully evaded the question, stating that it’s a secret.
The topic then shifted to Duhamel’s show, Buddy Games. This show is based on a tradition he started with his friends where they compete in a series of outrageous games every August. Duhamel explained that CBS loved the idea and decided to turn it into a TV show. He described some of the games they play, including one called “spladle” where contestants have to paddle from one buoy to another on stand-up paddleboards while being shot at with paintballs.
Duhamel also shared some funny stories about the challenges they faced while filming the show, including a game in which they had to collect mud in a pit and shoot balls into giant beer pong cups, but one of his friends suggested adding manure to the mud, which was quickly shot down by the network. Despite these hurdles, Duhamel and his friends continue to have a great time competing against each other and creating unforgettable memories.
Towards the end of the interview, Kimmel challenged Duhamel to a game called “extreme indoor balloon,” which involved hitting a balloon back and forth without letting it touch the ground. Despite his competitive nature, Duhamel was defeated by Kimmel, resulting in a humorous conclusion to the segment.
Fans of Duhamel and enthusiasts of funny and absurd games will definitely enjoy watching Buddy Games. Tune in to CBS on Thursdays at 8 PM to catch all the action.
