00:00There's all sorts of s**t.
00:02Hey, I am Jeffrey Dean Morgan and I am hosting NBC's all-new reality competition, Destination X.
00:12How does the show work? Allow me to explain.
00:14The game starts with players traveling together on a blacked-out bus.
00:19When the players get off the bus, they have no idea where they've gone or where they've stopped.
00:23Where are we?
00:25Where in the X are they? Well, that is up to them to figure out.
00:29My first step in Europe is in a place I don't even know where the hell I am.
00:32How? There's gonna be clues.
00:34Here it is.
00:35There's also gonna be red herrings.
00:36My answers don't make sense.
00:38You have to compete in challenges that are gonna help you get a little bit closer to the answer.
00:43If you're very close to the location, you get to stay.
00:46You won't talk about stress. I mean, you can feel it from your throat down to your ass.
00:50If you're not close, I'm kicking you out of my game.
00:53There's stuff you'll recognize and stuff you won't recognize.
00:56Stuff the players probably have studied.
00:58They just look so Roman.
01:00And stuff that they don't know anything about.
01:02I'm so bamboozled by this.
01:04Each week there will be a beautiful new location.
01:07And don't do haunted castles.
01:09The only ghost I believe in is the Holy Ghost.
01:11With less players until the best guess wins.
01:15And I will hand you a quarter million dollars.
01:18Got it? It's as simple as that.
01:20Now, where the ex are we?
