The "Celebrity Circus" comes to town tonight on NBC when Antonio Sabato Jr. , Blu Cantrell , Christopher Knight , Janet Evans , Jason "Wee Man" Acuna , Rachel Hunter and Stacey Dash attempt the same death-defying stunts that take place in a real-life circus.
The stars, who had only eight weeks to train, will tackle such spectacular feats such as High Wire, Fire Dancing, Hand Balancing, Flying Trapeze, Chinese Poles, Aerial Silks, and the Wheel of Death.
Each week, America will vote for the best act and determine which celeb will be eliminated from the big top.
