NBC Renews I Can Do That

UNIVERSAL CITY: NBC is bringing back the variety series I Can Do That for a second season.

Eight new episodes have been ordered. Taped in front of a live audience, the series sees six well-known celebrities engaging in friendly rivalry as they master a variety of acts. The show is adapted from an Israeli entertainment format sold by Armoza Formats.

"This series thrust our celebrities out of their comfort zones and into exciting, unpredictable situations and they rose to the occasion each week," said Paul Telegdy, the president of alternative and late night programming at NBC Entertainment. "We are thrilled to bring new challenges and up the ante for season two."
