Skift Take

Zach Anner's previous travel show was kicked off Oprah's network and now he's turning to crowd-sourced recommendations to inspire shooting locales for videos he self-describes as a spin on Bourdain's "crotchety indifference."

Back in 2010, Austin-based comedian Zach Anner amassed a passionate following with a funny, contagiously enthusiastic audition video (in which, among other things, he tries his hand at drag and cooking and refers to his cerebral palsy as ‘the sexiest of the palsies’) to get his own travel show on Oprah’s new television network, declaring that “no Atlantis is too underwater or fictional.” Anner won the competition, and his travel show, Rollin’ With Zach, ran briefly on OWN.
