G4 restores ‘Proving Ground’ to honor Ryan Dunn
After a decent interval to allow fans to grieve, G4 has announced plans to air the so-far unseen episodes of ‘Proving Ground’ as a salute to the late Ryan Dunn.
“Ryan was an incredible talent who will be missed tremendously by his fans, including G4 viewers,” G4′s president Neal Tiles told THR. ”With the support of Ryan’s family, we’ve decided to air the remaining episodes and give fans the opportunity to watch this series he was so passionate about.”
The cable house yanked the show off the air after the news of Ryan’s death broke on June 20th, but they say it will now return to its 8pm time-slot and finish the season.
The G4 folks are also planning to air a one-hour special ‘Attack of the Show’ as a tribute on July 19th. This will showcase some of Ryan’s best moments and include interviews with his close friends and colleagues.
The tribute begins on July 19th at 7pm, Eastern.
