Derrick Kosinski & Scott Yager are joined by Johnny Bananas.

The face of The Challenge franchise for close to a decade finally makes his much anticipated first appearance on Challenge Mania and it is a good one! Johnny (@JohnnyBananas) drops by for almost TWO HOURS to talk to Derrick (@DerrickMTV) & Scott (@SHOTOFYAGER) about his new late-night show gig 1st Look on NBC, which premieres this Saturday after SNL and how it all came about. Then, Johnny discusses why he doesn't like the new crop of talent infiltrating The Challenge landscape, what his favorite format is, what new format he wishes they would institute, who his Challenge Kryptonite is, what went wrong during the famous backpack challenge with CT, how a guy who never watched and still doesn't watch reality TV ended up the face of it and MUCH MORE!
