John Daly Has a New Reality Television Show; Hilarity Might Not Ensue

John Daly, former Hooters arrestee, purveyor of heinous knickerbockers and fat guy in a tiny bus tunnel, isn't leaving your lives just quite yet. No, sir. In fact, thanks to the Golf Channel, Daly is going to be all up in your face kid.

That's because starting in just a few months (or "early next year") Daly's going to get his own reality television show. But, really, um, of course he is.

It shouldn't be surprising at all, frankly -- and getting to see the train wreck that is John Daly appearing weekly on your teevee sets is something that should have never gone away. The surprising part is Daly's show is happening now ... after he's actually cleaned up his act.

Instead, the Golf Channel's show will focus on Daly turning his life -- they're calling it his "boring life" actually -- around and trying to make something of himself other than a bloated pile of Diet Coke and peanut M&M's. Frankly, I think it will be interesting; even at his most reserved, Daly is still pretty out there (see: fluorescent pants). Excellent example: the first part of the show will feature him finishing up practice for the Buick Open and then going to Kid Rock's studio to record a song. He will also iron his awesome pants.

Daly has, of course, turned to Twitter in order to get this puppy named; "Daly Planet" is out, and he's considering "Out of the Rough" which is obviously appropriate given the multiple meanings inherent there. Got a better idea? Hit him up. He'll probably answer and if it's good enough, he might even use it. (Personally, I think "Cinderella Story" with Bill Murray voice overs to pseudo-house beats would be pretty awesome, but I'm a weirdo. What? You do better.)

Update x2: Okay, so as soon as I published this, I realized that "PANTS PARTY" would be an insanely awesome name for it. And if you just so happen to have Photoshop skillz, the boys over at Gunaxin are running a nifty little contest where you can win things for being creative. Hop to.
