Wow, remember “Circus of the Stars?” While I have a vague recollection of the show, I know it’s been a long time since stars and the circus were brought together. But get ready for a new version to grace your TV this summer, when “Celebrity Circus” airs on NBC.

While “Celebrity Circus” is a new series, it will be somewhat reminiscent of the old school “Circus of the Stars.” The latest NBC reality series will have celebs competing with the help of professional circus performers.

“Celebrity Circus” will air on NBC this summer – joining the summer reality lineup of “Nashville Star” and the second go-around of “American Gladiators.”

David Goldberg, president of Endemol USA (who will produce “Celebrity Circus) said, “Every week this show will bring big thrills and bigger entertainment to our audience who can look forward to some very adventurous television.”

NBC executive Craig Pletis commented, “This show will draw our favorite celebrities out of their comfort zone and into a stunning and magical circus environment that allows them to showcase their unseen skills.”

And speaking of “Circus of the Stars,” ABC will bring back a revival of the 1980s series and are currently (according to Variety) “in serious negotiations.”
