NBC's Hot Wheels Gets Celeb Judges; Zooey Deschanel's Max Series Premieres May 23
Celebrity Guest Judges Anthony Anderson, WWE Superstar Big E, Terry Crews, Sung Kang, Jay Leno and Joel McHale will help to determine the winners of NBC's epic new car makeover competition show Hot Wheels: Ultimate Challenge, premiering Tuesday, May 30th at 10:00 p.m. ET/PT. The rotating celebrity guests will each join host Rutledge Wood and resident experts Dalal Elsheikh, designer for the Ford Motor Company, and Hertrech "Hert" Eugene Jr., car culture influencer, on an episode throughout the season, where they will review the epic car transformations and crown a winner. Hot Wheels: Ultimate Challenge revs up to give passionate car lovers and Hot Wheels(R) superfans the opportunity of a lifetime - turning a nostalgic car from their past into the life-sized Hot Wheels of their dreams. Hosted by car afficionado Rutledge Wood, each episode will invite two superfans into the Chrome Zone, where they will face off in transforming an ordinary vehicle into an extraordinary Hot Wheels showstopper, inspired by personal stories and pop culture touchstones. Working alongside a team of automotive magicians known as "The Car Pool," the two superfans will create their designs in high-tech, decked-out garages. The winner of each episode will take home $25,000 and the chance to get into the finale, where three lucky finalists will transform another car in hopes of winning a legendary prize - an additional $50,000 and the honor of having their build made into an official Hot Wheels die-cast car.
Jay Leno joins the finale episodes and will have a hand in determining the transformation that will be made into an official Hot Wheels die-cast car. Ted Wu, Global Head of Design for Mattel's Vehicles division, also joins the finale, offering unmatched Hot Wheels expertise as a winner is selected.
