A first look at CMT's 'Dude Perfect Show'
Get ready for some epic trick shots.
Dude Perfect -- a.k.a. friends Cody Jones, Tyler Toney, Garrett Hilbert, Coby and Cory Cotton -- is taking its popular YouTube channel to the next level with CMT's The Dude Perfect Show.
The five Dallas-based friends, who have amassed 9.1 million subscribers since joining YouTube in 2009, are known for live-action stunts and funny videos including their "Stereotypes" series.

The CMT show, produced by Superjacket Productions, highlights those stunts while also following the friends behind-the-scenes during their daily video-making lives.
Mashable has a sneak peak of the new CMT show below.
The clip teases some new trick shots, plus guest appearances from Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers and musician Luke Bryan.
"The show is a natural progression of what we have already been doing on a daily basis," Toney told Mashable.
Still, Toney said, making the jump to TV is "definitely different."
"YouTube is high energy, attention grabbing short videos," he said. "TV is a different mindset. You still want to provide entertaining content, but there's much more storytelling and background information. It's a more in-depth look at what we do."
The show will be part of the network's Thursday night lineup, beginning on April 14. It comes just before another new CMT show starring YouTube prankster Ed Bassmaster.
“Way beyond the insane trick shots, these guys are truly an All-American brotherhood that turned a passion into an amazing business," Rob Dyrdek, of Superjacket Productions, said in a statement following news of the show in September.
"This show will give their fans and the world an inside look at their camaraderie and the fun they have behind the viral hits they produce.”
