Bert the Conqueror was an American reality television series which premiered on the Travel Channel on June 16, 2010.

The show was hosted by the American stand-up comedian Bert Kreischer. He traveled across the United States to amusement parks and other entertainment venues to experience and promote various roller coasters, water rides, and unusual sports.[1] Kreischer was known for his uncontrollable screaming in early episodes of the show.

Each episode took part in a single U.S. state, and each episode was titled with the name of the state in which that episode takes place. There are also episodes which took place in a single amusement park, such as "Cedar Point", in which Kreischer rode four roller coasters at Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio.[2]

On September 24, 2010, Bert the Conqueror was renewed for a second season. The renewal was revealed on the Bert the Conqueror Facebook page the next day.[3] The second season began April 3, 2011.[4]

Bert the Conqueror was moved during its last season in favor of the US version of Scream! If You Know the Answer, which was also hosted by Kreisher. It was not picked up for a third season.

On the April 29, 2015 episode of his podcast, Kreischer mentioned that "Bert the Conqueror" would begin filming new episodes in the coming months.

The first season consisted of 10 episodes, with Kreischer visiting a different U.S. state. In the premiere of the second season, he visited an amusement park in Connecticut, then went on to Stowe, Vermont to ride a concrete luge course. The conclusion was the Wife Carrying Championship in Camden, Maine, in which he carried his wife across the obstacle course. The second season also had Kreischer visiting locations outside of the United States in Alberta, Canada and Cancun, Mexico.
