Ryan Lochte is set to make his small-screen debut.
He's superhuman in the pool but super stupid on TV.
Olympic swimmer Ryan Lochte, star of E!'s new waste of time, 'What Would Ryan Lochte Do?,' comes off as a skirt-chasing dingbat in the new reality show that follows him, er, chasing skirts and acting dumb.

Don Juan Moore/E!Acting dumb and showing off his body are what Ryan Lochte does on his new E! show, 'What Would Ryan Lochte Do?'
Lochte, who has male-model looks and a personality bordering on a yogurt taco seems to fumble though the show, splashing viewers with bloopers, vacant stares and silly sayings like, 'Go big or go home.'
It's the same kind of ridiculous babbling that turned him into a laughingstock while doing live TV interviews.

Sam Jones/ E!The 11-time Olympic medalist tries to invent his own catchphrases on the show, along with chasing girls.
A video of Lochte trying to banter with two morning shows in Philadelphia earlier this week left viewers '� and the anchors '� in tears as he dropped chestnut phrases like, 'If you're man at night, you need to be a man in the morning.'
On the show he even tries to come up with his own catchphrase, 'Jeah!'

Don Juan Moore/E!Struggles Olympic swimmer Ryan Lochte struggles with on his new E! show include training for the 2016 games and transitioning from one-night stands to a meaningful relationship.
It's rough, and after you get past the show's single joke (that would be Lochte's personality) and the 11-time Olympic medalist's washboard abs, one can only wonder how it will be possible to garner enough material for an entire series.
To this end, producers struggle to build drama by showcasing Lochte's rigorous training for the next summer games in Rio de Janeiro and his dream of moving past one-night stands and into a meaningful relationship.

Another suspenseful situation for Lochte to dwell on is whether he can deliver a speech at a Muscular Dystrophy event in Washington, D.C., without coming off as a moron.
