Entertainment Weekly has announced the exciting news that Nickelodeon USA will start to premiere and show the networks brand-new adventure-filled docu-series All In With Cam Newton every Friday night at 8:00pm ET/PT from Friday 3rd June 2016, and to celebrate, has unveiled Nick USA's first All In With Cam Newton teaser trailer, which you can watch in the fantastic video below!
Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton is bringing his skills - and, yes, his dabs - to Nickelodeon this summer!
As the 2016 NFL MVP, Newton helped carry his team to Super Bowl 50 after notching a near-perfect regular-season record. His new Nickelodeon show, All In With Cam Newton (formally titled I Wanna Be), finds him applying those leadership skills (plus his famous charm) to help real kids achieve their own lifelong dreams. Over 20 episodes, Newton will serve as host as he helps each kid pursue their individual passions, which include everything from basketball to fashion to government. It's the sort of feel-good stuff that even his critics might enjoy.
But Superman will have some help as well. Each week, All In will bring in special guests - such as gymnast Dominique Dawes, illusionist David Copperfield, fashion guru Tim Gunn, and more - to act as mentors.
One episode will also feature the USA Water Polo Training Center in Los Alamitos, California.
See the always-charismatic Cam dab it up with a bunch of kids and Snakes in the video above. All In With Cam Newton debuts Friday, June 3 at 8 p.m., only on Nick USA!
