Discovery Channel launches true‑crime series “How to Catch a Dirtbag”

The Discovery Channel premiered the eight‑episode true‑crime reality series “How to Catch a Dirtbag” on August 5, 2026 at 10 p.m. The show is hosted by social‑media investigator Michael McWhorter, known online as Tizzy Ent, who uses digital sleuthing and tips from his millions of followers to track down people caught on camera committing public misconduct.

Each hour‑long episode follows a viral video incident—ranging from extreme road‑rage and vehicle theft to bizarre acts of public indecency—working with law‑enforcement officials and interviewing victims, witnesses and, when possible, the accused. Viewers can watch the series via traditional cable or stream it live through services such as Philo (free trial) and DIRECTV (free trial).
