Premiering January 29th @ 7:30pm ET, metal icon Ozzy Osbourne, his wife Sharon and pop-rockin' daughter Kelly support their family's youngest, Jack, through a painstaking six-month quest to clean up his act.

Death-defying sports, ultra-strict dieting and a 180-degree mental make-over all lead up to Jack's ultimate goal: a 3,000-ft climb up Yosemite Park's famous monolith, El Capitan. Throughout, cameras capture this 19-year- old's body-morphing mission to shed a life of debauchery - and 50lbs of jelly from his belly.
