About the Show
Hosted by General Wesley Clark (retired) and Samantha Harris, "Stars Earn Stripes" is an action-packed competition show that pays homage to the men and women who serve in the U.S. Armed Forces and our first responder services. The star-studded cast includes four-time undefeated world boxing champion Laila Ali; actor Dean Cain; actor and former National Football League player Terry Crews; multi-platinum recording artist, actor, producer and television personality Nick Lachey; Alaska businessman and four-time Iron Dog snowmobile race champion Todd Palin; "The Biggest Loser" trainer Dolvett Quince; Olympic gold medalist Picabo Street and WWE Diva Eve Torres.
The celebrities will gather at a remote training facility, where they will be challenged to execute complicated missions inspired by real military exercises. From helicopter drops into water to long-range weapons fire, the contestants will be tested physically, mentally and emotionally. Each will be paired with a special operative from a military branch or one of the first responder forces, who trains alongside their partner and competes in the missions with them. Each of the teams is competing for a cash prize on behalf of a military, veterans or first responder charity. Committed to hiring recent vets on to the crew, "Stars Earn Stripes" hopes to inspire other employers throughout the country to make similar commitments to our returning heroes and show audiences just how impossible their service missions really are.
