Former Gov. Jesse Ventura has been traveling the country investigating modern-day conspiracy theories for his new cable series. Here's a look at his upcoming show called "Conspiracy Theory."

"Conspiracy Theory" premieres Dec. 2 at 10 p.m. on truTV.

Jesse Ventura appeared on CNN’s "Larry King Live" during Tuesday’s election night along with Ben Stein and James Carville to discuss the results of the governors’ elections in Virginia and New Jersey. They speculated what effects Republican wins will have for the political environment and how it could influence future voting.

See how many times Ventura doesn’t hesitate to throw in “When I was governor" comments.

The interview is split into two parts below. Watch to the end of the second part to see a promo for Ventura’s new “Conspiracy Theory” show.

Rep. Michele Bachmann, D-Minn., appeared on Fox News asking people from across America to join her at the steps of the U.S. Capitol in Washington Thursday at noon to make a "house call" before Congress votes on health-care reform.

Bachmann wants to rally all "freedom loving Americans" to go into the congressional office buildings, look into the whites of their representatives' eyes and tell them they have to vote no on the reform.

"This is the Super Bowl of Freedom this week. Socialized medicine is the crown jewel of socialism. This will change our country forever," Bachmann said.

University of Minnesota Associate Professor of Art History Robert Silberman explains why people pay big money to be scared. Silberman compares horror movies to a roller coaster at an amusement park. It allows us to experience the fear in a controlled situation, making it enjoyable instead of frightening. Horror films also contain a sexual element that draws in teenage audiences trying to understand their own sexuality. Take the current "Twilight" movie series about vampires, for example.

Whether it involves aliens, snakes or death, Silberman says a dark theater is the perfect place for people to experience their own dark fears without the fear of getting hurt.
