Audition[]

Pressing the Limits's audition in Episode 903 consisted of a bowling ball being dropped from five feet onto Jon's belly and an assistant jumping rope on a bed of nails pressed against Jon. Unfortunately, Jon screamed when the bed was pressing into him too tightly.  As a result, Howard Stern and Mel B both buzzed the act. Howard, Heidi Klum, Mel B, and Howie Mandel all voted "No", eliminating the act from the competition.







After The Show[]

Jon Bruney competed on the second season of the TBS competition series Go Big Show in 2022 in which he lost his preliminary match-up against bull-jumper Manu Lataste.
