Terry Crews on Choosing to Host WORLD’S FUNNIEST FAILS

Terry Crews has added another job to his ever-expanding resume: host of the new Fox unscripted series, WORLD’S FUNNIEST FAILS, that rewards the best viral videos.

“You know it was funny because I was headed into a holiday and I was working [on] BROOKLYN NINE-NINE and the whole thing and I get this call from my agent and they’re like, ‘Man, there’s this show that’s unbelievable. It’s called WORLD’S FUNNIEST FAILS, and what they basically do is they watch clips on YouTube of all this failure stuff,’ and I’m like, ‘Holy cow,'” Crews told reporters. “My wife and kids, we sit there and watch this stuff all day. You get caught in a rabbit hole. Once you play one video, you just keep going.”

“My kids, the 16 year old in my house, she’s my namesake. Her name is Tara. She’s the one that pulls me to the side and always say, ‘Dad, you got to watch this. Look what happens to this guy,'” he continued. “We crack up. I’m in tears and I said I have to do this because it’s a family show, and I just remembered having the good family time that me and my wife all the way down to the little ones. My son is nine and we’re crying laughing and he’s like, ‘Play it again; play it again.’ I said to be a part of this every week with the whole of America, I can’t turn it down. I said we got to make time for this show to happen and I said you got me. You had me at hello.”
