NBC announces slate for 2012 summer

MUMBAI: US brocdaster NBC has unveiled premiere dates for three new and returning series for Summer 2012 that include the return of "Love in the Wild? on 7 June, the debut of ?Saving Hope? (working title) on the same day and the return of G4?s ?American Ninja Warrior? on 21 May.

Jenny McCarthy returns to her hosting roots as she joins NBC?s adventure-dating series ?Love in the Wild? as the host for the show?s second season that will feature even wilder adventures. McCarthy will head to the tropical paradise of the Dominican Republic to guide contestants through rigorous adventures as well as the choppy waters of relationships in their quest to find love.

The host, best-selling author and activist recently reprised her recurring role on "Two and a Half Men" and re-joined hosts Dick Clark and Ryan Seacrest in reporting live from Times Square on "Dick Clark?s New Year?s Rockin? Eve with Ryan Seacrest" this past New Year?s.

?Love in the Wild? aims to put relationships to the ultimate test with exhilarating and wild adventures that push participants to the limit, both physically and emotionally. Single men and single women, all looking for love, will experience a romantic quest unlike anything they could have ever imagined. These singles have tried it all -- speed-dating, blind-dating, Internet dating -- and now, they will journey to a tropical paradise to see if they can find that special someone. During elimination, all of the couples will come together to reveal whether a connection has been formed with their current partner -- or if they would like to switch and get to know someone else. At the end of every episode, heartbroken singles are sent home. The series culminates with just one couple left standing.
