Call to Greatness was a reality television show on MTV. The show aired during 2006 and ran for five episodes. In the show, a group of five men, known as "Team C2G", travelled around the United States trying to beat world records.[2][3] This included shot-putting a tuba as far as they could, furthiest distance jumping a hearse over a short bus, eating worms, beating a speed record of an unexpected item (such as the fastest living room space, built on a truck), blowing the biggest bubble gum ever, etc.

According to CTV, the group broke 33 records during the filming of the show, individually and collectively.

The cast members were Andreas Wigand, Drew Bell, Ghost, Paul Prado, and Rainbow Borden.[1][4]

The son of a preacher and an artist, Ghost the rockstar of all record breakers was born on February 28 in Indianapolis,Indiana. He later moved to Atlanta,Georgia when he was a teenager.

In Late 2006, Call to Greatness was moved to MTV2. The producers of the show decided not to continue on with the series after the move due to budget restraints.
