Eve joins NBC's "Stars Earn Stripes"

NBC announced the celebrity cast and hosts of its new alternative series ?Stars Earn Stripes? ? a fierce and emotionally charged new competition show honoring America?s armed forces. The cast includes former Divas Champion Eve!

The Diva will be joined by four-time undefeated world boxing champion Laila Ali, actor Dean Cain (?Out of Time,? Five Days of War?), actor and former National Football League player Terry Crews (?The Expendables 2,? ?The Newsroom?), multi-platinum recording artist, actor, producer and television personality Nick Lachey (NBC?s ?The Sing-Off?), Alaska businessman Todd Palin, Olympic gold medalist Picabo Street and ?The Biggest Loser? trainer Dolvett Quince.

The series will be hosted by General Wesley Clark (ret.) ? the former Supreme Allied Commander Europe for NATO and former presidential candidate ? and television personality Samantha Harris (?Entertainment Tonight,? ?Dancing with the Stars?). ?Stars Earn Stripes? will debut with a special two-hour episode on Monday, Aug. 13 (8-10 p.m. ET) and will air Mondays at 9 p.m. ET.

The eight competitors will gather at a remote training facility where they will tackle complicated and difficult missions that are inspired by real military exercises.?Each will be paired with an ?operative? who is a member or a former member of our armed forces or law enforcement agencies. The operative will coach and guide their celebrity teammate on their training and each of their missions and will compete along-side them.?From helicopter drops to long range weapons fire ? the competitors will be tested physically and emotionally as they play to win and to earn a cash prize for military-, veterans and first-responder based charities. Each week, one of the teams will be eliminated.

From executive producers Dick Wolf (?Law & Order,? ?Law & Order: SVU?), Mark Burnett (?The Voice,? ?Survivor?) and David A. Hurwitz (?Fear Factor?), this extraordinary show will donate money raised through the competition to veterans? charities. Eve will be playing for the USO (uso.org).

Committed to hiring recent vets onto the crew, ?Stars Earn Stripes? hopes to inspire other employers throughout the country to make similar commitments to our returning heroes, not to mention proving how impossible their service missions really are.
