“Rollin’ With Zach” follows the 27-year-old comedian, who has cerebral palsy and uses a wheelchair to get around, as he pursues his dream of traveling the country. Zach may have cerebral palsy, but that’s never stopped him! In every episode, Zach explores a new city and conquers his “top five” list for the destination, traveling from coast to coast.
A year ago, Zach Anner, 26, was an unknown Austin, Texas filmmaker. But that all changed when he posted an audition tape online last summer for “Your OWN Show: Oprah’s Search For The Next TV Star.” In the video, Anner told viewers that he has “the sexiest of the palsies” and pitched a “travel show for people who never thought they could travel.”
Within days, the video went viral, attracting the attention of singer John Mayer and plugs on sites like Digg and Reddit. Anner ultimately garnered over 9 million votes from the public and scored one of 10 spots on an Oprah Winfrey Network reality show where the winner would receive their own TV program.
“Having a disability and growing up with one, you’re always looking for a place in the world where you fit and where you can excel and make the best use of all your talent and your ability,” Zach says. “Knowing that I’ve found a path where I can make a difference in people’s lives, it means the world to me.”
“Rollin’ with Zach” premieres on Oprah Winfrey’s OWN network Monday, December 12 at 7 p.m. Central.
