MTV’s Dare To Live looks obnoxious, until you think of it as an elaborate booby trap intended to kill The Chainsmokers
Here’s what’s happening in the world of television for Tuesday, August 29. All times are Eastern.
Top pick
Dare To Live (MTV, 11 p.m.): Do not Google the words “Rory Kramer” unless the results you’re looking for are a stress headache. A professional videographer who’s worked with an impressive roster of musicians including Kanye West and Justin Bieber (and has also pointed a camera at The Chainsmokers), Kramer is also a popular internet personality and self-proclaimed “professional life liver” who brands each new project “A Rory Kramer vision” and sells $60 hoodies emblazoned with the tagline “Run it!” on his personal website. He has overcome serious mental-health obstacles to become the patron saint of dudes jumping off shit in slow-motion; his YouTube page is what Jackass would’ve looked like if Johnny Knoxville and Bam Margera came of age in the era of YouTube and GoPro.
