Grave Digger Driver Dennis Anderson Has a TV Show, You Can Watch It This Weekend

Grave Digger Driver Dennis Anderson Has a TV Show, You Can Watch It This Weekend:


The concept is both simple and ambitious: travel the world using 80 different modes of transportation, with no repeats. We’re guessing a monster truck won’t be among them, despite the fact that Dennis Anderson—creator of Grave Digger, and the interviewee in the What I’d Do Differently feature in our upcoming December issue—is one of the show’s hosts. He’ll be paired with Robert “Boston Rob” Mariano, a guy who is famous for eventually winning Survivor after competing four times. The two will work together at times and race each other at others, with each episode following their indirect journey to a new destination using transportation methods from throughout history. (Ah, there’s the tie-in to the show’s home channel.)


The first episode debuts this Sunday at 10 p.m. Eastern on History, follows Anderson and Mariano on their way to Lake Titicaca in Peru. The duo employs a variety of livestock, a zip-line, and reed boats, among other modes, over the hour-long trek.


Watch the trailer below and don’t forget to read the interview with Anderson in our December issue.
