Johnny Bananas Getting His Own TV Show On NBC Just Broke My Brain

What a rise to stardom for Johnathan Plantains! From being filmed hooking up and getting drunk in a house of maniacs to being filmed hooking up, getting drunk and competing in a bunch of different games in different countries to his very own show on network TV. Yeah it’s the show that most people know because they once woke up to it after falling asleep watching SNL. But still, Johnny fucking Bananas having his own show on NBC is incredible and crazy for anybody that grew up watching The Real World and/or The Challenge.

And don’t get it twisted, that headline was not a shot at Bananas at all. That dude was the most professional guest I ever dealt at Barstool HQ. He was always willing to do whatever was needed for a segment and had the drive of a hustler, which shouldn’t be a surprise for anybody that has ever watched him on The Challenge or his Exit Interview with Pardon My Take.

Bananas is the Tom Brady of The Challenge as well as the Michael Corelone of The Challenge and the Yogi Berra of The Challenge Guy has rings for days, political moves for weeks, and quotes/toasts for years. The move he pulled on his partner Sarah by deciding to take her share of a $275,000 prize instead of sharing it with her will forever be the most ruthless moment in reality show and probably TV history.

“Watch this, Lisa. You can actually pinpoint the second when her heart rips in half.”

But it’s still crazy that the dude CT once turned into a backpack will have his own TV show on NBC.

God bless Johnny Bananas and God bless The Challenge.

Obligatory throwback to him joining The No Quitters Podcast (RIP In Hiatus) days after he ripped Sarah’s still-beating heart out of her chest.
