Bobby and Brendan’s American adventure

Ander dam se eende starts 12 January at 9pm on kykNET (DStv channel 144) – two South African stars, Bobby van Jaarsveld and Brendan Peyper, take you on an epic tour across the USA.

From culture-rich cities to small towns full of surprises, follow their adventures, meet new people, and discover the music, culture, and energy of America – always with a touch of South African flair.

1. Bobby & Brendan take America by storm

The season follows two of South Africa’s favourite stars – Bobby van Jaarsveld and Brendan Peyper – as they road-trip across the USA, meeting South Africans, diving into new subcultures, and chasing adventure from coast to coast.

2. Every city has its own vibe

From the skyscrapers of New York, the small-town charm of Raleigh and Pittsboro, to the country rhythm of Nashville, the soulful grit of Memphis, the cowboy energy of Dallas–Fort Worth, the artsy buzz of Austin, and the sun-soaked glamour of Los Angeles – every stop has a unique tone, pace, and personality.

3. Music lovers will feel right at home

The team explores the roots of American music – from country legends in Nashville to blues and soul history in Memphis to discovering local musicians and hidden gems across Austin’s indie scene. Expect jam sessions, studio moments, and backstage stories that hit you right in the feels.

4. Things definitely go wrong… and hilariously so

In Pigeon Forge, an unexpected setback derails their plans – but the chaos turns into comedy as they improvise, regroup, and keep the adventure rolling. Spoiler: what starts as a problem becomes one of the trip’s funniest memories.

5. The Grand Canyon episode is pure goosebumps

With vast landscapes, emotional reflections, and once-in-a-lifetime views, Episode 9 is a visual highlight of the series. Plus, it includes a real-life, “yep, even out here your banking should stay simple” moment that fits perfectly into the scenery.

6. The show proves Americans LOVE South Africans

Everywhere they go, from diners to dance halls, they meet people who can’t get enough of SA music, accents, and charm.
