Glenn Beck, Vince Vaughn to launch reality TV show

Glenn Beck on Wednesday announced that he is teaming up with actor Vince Vaughn to produce a new reality show set to debut next year on Beck's TheBlaze TV.

“Pursuit of Truth” will pit 20 documentary filmmakers in a competition for financing and distribution for their film. Beck’s TheBlaze TV, Vaughn and Peter Billingsley’s Wild West Productions and Gary Auerbach’s Go Go Luckey Entertainment are behind the nine episode series, which will launch on TheBlaze TV in spring 2013.

"I am proud to announce that Vince Vaughn and I are going to be the executive producers," Beck said on his Wednesday radio show. "That should make everybody's head spin. What the hell is Vince Vaughn doing with a crazy man? I know, that's what my friends say. Glenn, what are you doing with the crazy man Vince Vaughn? Yes. It's great, isn't it? I love it."

“I’d like to see the stuff just isn’t done,” Beck said later on the show. “And done right. And done without conspiracy. I’d love to see something on the Federal Reserve, the game that’s being played there. I would love to see something on why capitalism is actually a good thing, why it’s not a bad thing.”

Beck, Vaughn, Billingsley and Auerbach will review the applications from aspiring documentary filmmakers, according to the show’s website.

“I’m looking for somebody that really wants to change the course of America by telling the truth that you think is never, ever told,” Beck said.
