Formula DRIFT Programming Starts this Weekend on VERSUS

I suffer from insomnia, so it gives me a lot of time to think about things that normal people don’t have the time to think about. A lot of my time spent laying there in bed is used thinking about what famous celebrities I think I could maybe take in a UFC style fight; The list is very short but the challenges are massive, here is my list:

5. Estelle Getty
(She was the feistiest of the “Golden Girls” and I think might have a few moves under her wig)

4. Edie McClure
(She played the tough, streetwise secretary in “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off”. I’m sure she learned a few moves on the set.)

3. Don Knotts
(He played a cop on TV, nuff said)

2. Jamie Lawson
(It’s not the actors real name, it’s his character’s name in “Small Wonder”. I think I could take the character, not the real guy.)

1. The baby from “Look Who’s Talking”
(He has the voice of Bruce Willis, have you seen “Die Hard”?  This is my greatest challenge.)
With all these versus matches between Hollywood celebrities and I, it reminded me that Formula D is starting their programming schedule on the Versus Network this weekend; for more info, read below:
