LOS ANGELES, Oct. 13 (UPI) -- U.S. cable network truTV says it has ordered a pilot for a reality series called "Guinness World Records Gone Wild," starring Jamie Kennedy.

The show "challenges everyday people to push themselves to do astonishing things for their place in history," a synopsis said.

Among the records the show will set out to break are the most panes of glass run through in one minute, fastest time to jump over three oncoming cars, highest dive into 12 inches of water, most kicks to the head in one minute, most live cockroaches held in the mouth, most paintballs to hit a person in 30 seconds and the most people crammed into a tiny car, truTV said

Kennedy is best known for his work in the films "Scream" and "Kangaroo Jack" and TV's "Ghost Whisperer" and "The Jamie Kennedy Experiment."
