Jimmy Kimmel is teaming up with Mark Rober, a NASA engineer-turned-YouTube luminary, on a new hidden camera prank show.

Tentatively titled Revenge of the Nerd, the new show aims to “right the world of wrongs” by scouring the planet to catch evil-doers in the act — and punish them using homemade technology and creative engineering. 

According to Deadline, viewers will follow Rober and his brilliant team of ‘Avengineers’ as they identify troublemakers and build devices to teach them lessons they won’t likely forget.

The Discovery Channel has ordered eight episodes of the show, which was announced by Kimmer and Bober Tuesday’s episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live!

Bober is best known for taking his revenge on a porch thief with a glitter bomb package.
