Josh Duhamels Las Vegas Streaming For First Time on Peacock

Pack your bags and roll the dice because the early 2000s drama “Las Vegas” is hitting the streaming jackpot on Peacock! Starting December 29, the glitz and glamor of the hit NBC series will be at your fingertips.

Created by Gary Scott Thompson, “Las Vegas” brings the drama of an elite surveillance team tasked with keeping a bustling casino secure.

Starring James Caan and Josh Duhamel, this throwback series, which originally aired from 2003-2007, is ready to transport you to the neon-lit world of Sin City.

This binge-worthy addition to Peacock’s lineup marks James Caan’s inaugural dive into the TV series realm and Josh Duhamel’s dazzling transition from daytime to primetime.

The series also features a star-studded cast, including Nikki Cox, James Lesure, Vanessa Marcil, Molly Sims, and the iconic Tom Selleck. While newer shows may slide into the streaming scene seamlessly, classics like “Las Vegas” bring their own retro charm. 

Keep in mind that getting these pre-streaming gems on board involves a behind-the-scenes dance of clearing music rights—an elaborate process that ensures the series hits all the right notes for its online encore. So, if you’re ready for a high-stakes adventure, Peacock has your golden ticket to the iconic Las Vegas strip.

It’s time to relive the excitement, glamor, and suspense that made “Las Vegas” a sensation in its heyday!

Josh Duhamel as the Test Dummy

The show’s host, executive producer, co-creator, and “test dummy” was Josh Duhamel. In response to a reporter’s question about his experience embracing unscripted, he revealed that he had never considered hosting anything. He never would have imagined doing it, but this is what transpired.

He stated that he is familiar with this world and that the producers wanted him to host it. He doubts that anyone would approach the task with the same enthusiasm as he would. 

He wanted to get unclean. As the camp counselor, he wanted to get involved in some way and not just watch from a distance. He wanted them to actually do everything he was asking of them. He was just ecstatic to be able to go outside and accomplish this.

The reporter then asked the actor-turned-host if the challenges are prearranged or if they change on the fly. Josh replied that he had never hosted or been a part of an unscripted show like this before, so he wasn’t really sure how it would work. 

He went on to say that he would be present for the test and that he and his co-stars would sit there and they would test. They were a group. It functioned essentially like a test team.

As they worked through it, he would offer ideas for new approaches and tell them that whatever they were trying would take too much time and not be successful. 

Josh Duhamel was not used to changing his plans in response to obstacles after working on scripted projects for both large and small screens for so many years. His character was no stranger to action, as any viewer in Las Vegas knows, but it works very differently for a reality competition show.

The benefit of unscripted work lies in its lack of predetermined elements, allowing for spontaneous adjustments during the actual course of the games
