The “extreme talent” show first came to Macon to film in Fall 2020, bringing stars including Snoop Dogg, Cody Rhodes, Jennifer Nettles, and Rosario Dawson as judges, and Comedian Bert Kreischer as host. It was filmed at the Macon Centreplex where visitors could cheer and watch from their cars, in order to maintain social distancing and safety.
This filming follows several movies and shows that have filmed in Macon-Bibb, including The Bingo Long Traveling All-Stars & Motor Kings, Wise Blood, A Trip to Bountiful, The Crazies, Trouble with the Curve, 42, Need For Speed, The Fifth Wave, The Best of Enemies, Zombieland: Double Tap, and Justice on Trial.
