Rod Blagojevich to Participate

Scandal-ridden politician Rod Blagojevich was slated to appear on the show as well, even though his actual "celebrity" status is questionable. Unfortunately for him, a judge denied his request to travel to Costa Rica where I'm a Celebrity will be filmed because Blago is currently awaiting trial.

Blagojevich was present during NBC's press conference announcing the show and its contestants, however, according to the producers, will play some sort of role in the proceedings.

About I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here

I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here is based on a British show of the same name. Ten D-list celebrities are sent to a remote location, with viewers controlling much of what happens. One celebrity must complete a task in each episode and viewers get to vote on which star they want to see face the challenge. Viewers have direct input in who stays and who goes home as well. The last celebrity standing is the winner and has a cash prize donated to their charity of choice.

In the U.S., the show aired for one season on ABC with dancer Cris Judd, former hubby of Jennifer Lopez, winning the game. NBC plans to air the program, beginning June 1, four nights a week for fifteen episodes. On Sundays, each week's episodes will air as a marathon on MTV.
