Presenting its programming http://www.tvweek.com/blogs/tvbizwire/2011/05/cable-channel-greenlights-thre.php" Tuesday at the upfronts, History Channel made the announcement that it is greenlighting three new unscripted shows, Deadline.com reported. The new unscripted shows are "Invention USA," in which Riechart Von Wolfshield and Garrett Lisi search the country for inventors and the technologies that will transform people’s lives.

I asked and got permission from garrett to post, see below:
Hi Rhody,

Thanks for asking. I got asked to host this fun new show on inventors, and agreed to take it on as a side project. We're currently looking for inventors with cool prototypes to show off, with casting ending this friday, May 6, and about six weeks of shooting (for twelve episodes) beginning at the end of the month. After that, I'll be traveling around and talking to people about physics over the summer, including heading out to Europe in August. My main focus is still physics, of course, and this E8 theory I'm working on. If you post about the tv show, which you're quite welcome to do, it would also be cool if you pointed out this new blog post that appeared at Scientific American this morning:

That way it's clear I'm not switching careers, just moonlighting.


Garrett

I for one have no doubt your main focus is still particle physics, however, there are those who love to speculate. To put any doubts to rest, I felt it best to post his reply...

It would be cool if Garrett could post some video promotional teaser's, schedule and more background as the show's airtime segments approach.

Rhody...

P.S. Nice write up in the Sci-Am Blog, especially item number 8, hey wait, all it needs is an "E" in front of it. I know, I am bad, couldn't resist, hehe...

phinds,

You are correct, the blog pages change as time evolves, I will post any new info as I discover it, or that garrett gives me a heads up on. A search of the blog area came up empty as well.

Rhody...
