Vince Vaughn, Glenn Beck Team Up for Reality Show
EmailHere’s a Hollywood couple you probably didn’t see coming: Vince Vaughn and Glenn Beck. The “Wedding Crashers” star and former Fox News host announced today that they’re developing “Pursuit of Truth,” a reality show for Beck’s network, TheBlaze TV.
The show will pit 20 documentary filmmakers against each other as they compete for financing and distribution for their film. (Ben Affleck and Matt Damon did a similar series with HBO, “Project Greenlight,” in the early ’00s.) Vaughn and Beck’s nine episode series will launch on TheBlaze TV in spring 2013.
Beck shared the news on his radio show today. “I am proud to announce that Vince Vaughn and I are going to be the executive producers,” he said. “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.”

Aspiring documentarians, take note: Beck said he’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, and their production partners will review applications for contestants, according to the show’s website.
Vaughn has expressed his conservative leanings before. He supported Republican presidential contender Ron Paul in 2008 and 2012.
For Beck, the show is his latest eyebrow-raising project. Earlier this year, he launched a line of jeans.

I didn’t watch Glenn Beck’s other reality show on Fox so doubt I would be interested in any of his slanted views now.

Uh, Glenn Beck hasn’t been on Fox for months so I doubt you know what his point of view is. Nice try though.

How drunk was Vaughn when he made this deal?

Unfortunately I have the Blaze channel but as I despise G. Beck and most of the right wing extremists who are determined to be the most idiotic and foolish people in this country I will never watch anything on Blaze or any of the other channel Glenn Beck’s show keeps popping up on. Vince Vaugh I have nothing against and have seen him in a good light. Why he wants to be around this evil hateful right wing lunatic is beyond me?

Lillian Hellman said it best- “I believe in freedom of speech because it lets me know where the idiots are” . . . you trolls (Vicki, Tim, HOWDYMO-ron and BRAVE . . I mean, LIMP DICK . . . are nothing but scum. Open your eyes to something other than Madcow, John “the Drool” Stewart and Chris “I just peed on my leg” Matthews . . . I feel really sorry for you people because you’re arrogant, foolish and too stupid to know just how stupid you really are ! good Luck . . you’re gonna need it !

There officially goes Vaughn’s career. As a conservative he’ll be blackballed in Hollywood.

Glen Beck’s reality is the same as the government’s reality…NOT REAL. Lies and propaganda are all that come out of his mouth and out of the boob tube. Open your eyes and see the REAL REALITY that we live in. It may scare the heck out of you but sometimes knowledge is power and the truth will set us free. A year ago my son told me to turn off the freakin tv and start watching real documentaries and that was the first day of the rest of my life. When we all know the truth is when this country will be great once again and we can protect our children’s and grandchildren’s futures.

Glenn is on point here. I’ve been a dem ALL my life but this guy gets it. Anyone that brushes aside this mans understanding of American history and OUR constitution, is simply diluting themselves. I would also question their patriotism.
