First off, in case you don't actually know who this man is, we should point out that you would likely have to have been living under a rock. There are some really good reasons to be excited by seeing Jesse step up to the job of a conspiracy theorist. As a theorist himself, this writer understands the difficulty in being taken seriously as one. What is required for the job is some serious clout. And clout and confidence are something Jesse has in supply. You rock Jesse!Check out the preview and watch some of their first episodes here
And for those of you who really WERE living under a rock, we're sorry and here is a little bio on Jesse.
Jesse Ventura (born James Janos) grew up in idyllic Minneapolis. Upon finishing high-school, he served as a Navy SEAL in the Vietnam War. After his discharge, his interest in college theater led him into the pro wrestling ring, where, using the nickname The Body, he became a worldwide star. When physical illness forced him to retire from the ring, he turned to Hollywood and was featured in numerous action films.
He began his career in politics in 1990, when he defeated the longtime incumbent mayor of Brooklyn Park, MN. Eight years later he ran for governor of Minnesota, and as a third-party candidate he defeated heavily-favored Democratic and Republican opponents. Jesse served one-term but declined to run for reelection.
Ventura is the author of four books, including I Ain't Got Time to Bleed and Don't Start the Revolution Without Me.
Jesse and his wife Terry have been married for three decades. They have two grown children.
