DESTINATION AMERICA

 It took 12 Jesuit priests four months to exorcise Roland Doe of the demons that possessed him. The real-life horror story went on to inspire the book and the movie The Exorcist.

EXORCISM: LIVE! airs Friday, October 30 at 9/8c on Destination America, the #1 home for paranormal programming this fall.

Actor and media correspondent Chris Jacobs has signed on as host of the two-hour live special, bringing with him an extensive career in live television as former host of The Insider, correspondent for Entertainment Tonight, and currently the host of Overhaulin’ on Velocity. In EXORCISM: LIVE!, Jacobs will anchor the action as it unfolds and introduce viewers along the way to key commentators including paranormal experts, historians, and descendants of the original team that exorcised Roland Doe.
