The show will feature Daly as a bartender and Shelton as live entertainment alongside the bar’s house band.
“Barmageddon is a show where the celebrities you love give viral video sensations a shot at redemption, playing some crazy [bar] games,”
Carson Daly previously explained.
Throughout the show, celebrity guests will partake in rowdy bar games such as Air Cannon Cornhole, Keg Curling, Drunken Axe Hole, Sharts (“Shelton Darts”) and more. Click HERE to read a full explanation of the games that appear in the show.
