Rob Riggle: Global Investigator had a quiet six-episode run on Discovery last spring. It had the unfortunate timing of premiering the week in March when America started shutting down due to the pandemic. People were perhaps not interested in a lighthearted travel show at a moment when global travel was basically impossible. But now travel is starting to seem like it may be possible again relatively soon, and Rob Riggle: Global Investigator is making a splash on Hulu.
Episodes of Rob Riggle: Global Investigator include the series premiere, in which Riggle travels to Greece to search for the ruins of Atlantis, the ancient civilization described by the philosopher Plato, using Plato's writings as a guide. The tone of the show is fun and hard to describe. The character of "Rob Riggle, Global Investigator" is very loose, and there's a lot of the real Riggle in there. They're basically the same guy. It's like anytime he's interacting with a real person, he's pranking them and seriously asking them questions at the same time.
It's a fun show, and it goes by quick. If you like Discovery Channel travel shows, learning about history, and Judd Apatow comedies, you should check out Rob Riggle: Global Investigator.
