The Holey Moley pairing of Joe Tessitore and Rob Riggle will be hosting another competition show for ABC.
Per Deadline, Tessitore and Riggle will cohost The American Rescue Dog Show next month. The one-off special will also feature ESPN’s Monica McNutt as a sideline correspondent.
The competition sees rescued companions as they strut their fluff, competing for a slew of best in titles while stealing America’s hearts.
These prized pups may be cute, but the competition is fierce. In the two-hour special, rescued dogs from all across the country will compete in seven categories including Best In Underbite, Best In Snoring, Best In Belly Rubs and more. A $10,000 donation to a local animal welfare organization will be made in honor of the winning dog in each category, and each category winner will have the chance to be named the Best In Rescue with an additional $100,000 donation being made in their honor.
This seems like it will be a good fit for Tessitore, who is quite good at turning the excitement level up to 11. And what better event to amp up the volume than a dog show, featuring a bunch of Very Good Rescue Dogs?
The American Rescue Dog Show airs on ABC at 9 PM on Wednesday, May 25th.
