Tailgate Takedown premiered on TLC on January 6, 2010. As the self-proclaimed "Commissioner of Tailgating," Joe Cahn has traveled over 500,000 miles to 123 colleges to explore the exciting world of tailgate parties and now, he hunts for the country's best tailgaters in Tailgate Takedown. Cahn explores a different college stadium and rivalry game each week where three competing teams of local tailgaters face off against one another in a spirited cooking competition.
