    Bruce Jenner hosts "Star Games", a televised sports competition show featuring actors and actresses competing in kayaking, bicycling, and tug-of-war. Jenner admits he feels a little silly about hosting the show but enjoys working with the interesting celebrity participants. While "Star Games" is not as prestigious as the Olympics, Jenner maintains the celebrities take it competitively. Some stars, like Lorenzo Lamas, Billy Moses, and Steve Bond, showed athletic promise in their events. "Star Games" follows the format of other televised celebrity competitions and allows famous people to showcase their skills in less serious sporting events.
