What's the Story?
From the creators of Lip Sync Battle comes DO OR DARE, a Facebook series designed to embarrass celebrities in the name of charity. Hosted by comedian James Davis, each episode pits two celebs, such as Jason Derulo and Keke Palmer, and Candace Cameron Bure and Andrea Barber, against each other while participating in a series of dares in front of a studio audience. The person who wins a brief preliminary challenge gets to choose if he or she will accept the first wacky dare, or pass it off to the challenger. Regardless of how well each of them do, they each are given $10K for their favorite charity. The second round ups the stakes and the dares' craziness factor in exchange for another $15K each. The person voted the best challenger by the studio audience also wins a gold helmet. Participating celebs also use the Facebook platform to ask for, and accept, additional donations from viewing audiences.
Is It Any Good?
This zany game show features celebs having fun while raising awareness and money for their favorite charitable organization. They willingly subject themselves to things like getting pushed around by a champion sumo wrestler and getting slimed in order to get the funds.
Watching famous folks do goofy things is entertaining, but what also makes Do or Dare worth streaming is its clear focus on giving back and helping people in various ways. There may be competition, but on this show, everybody wins.
Talk to Your Kids About ...
Families can talk about some of the charities featured on Do or Dare. What will the money donated by these celebrities help them accomplish? Are all charities created equal?
If you had a chance to compete on Do or Dare, what charitable organization would you play for? Would there be any dares that you wouldn't accept?
How do streaming series differ from shows that air on television? Are there differences between shows that stream on social media platforms versus YouTube channels?
