Spiked TV Unveils Bakin' with Tommy Chong

New York, Jan. 9, 2008 -- Spiked TV announced today the development of Bakin' with Tommy Chung, a first-of-its-kind audience participation cooking program featuring the acclaimed actor and food aficionado.

Scheduled to commence production on April 1, Bakin' will feature various members of the live studio audience competing in a series of challenges, all of which must be perfectly executed in order to complete that week's dish.  Those who fail to complete their assigned missions and declared fully "Baked" and are banished from the arena. 

Chung serves as the official MC, providing colorful, sometimes nonsensical, commentary as contestants slip and slide across 'pudding river,' try to keep cool during a game of hot (i.e. baked) potato, and attempt to keep it down while battling the show's mascot, Munchie Monster.

The network is currently finalizing locales in 12 metropolitan cities and will announce venues and regional ticketing process during the coming weeks.  Bakin' with Tommy Chung is produced by SIDE Productions Inc.
