It has been 14 long years since the show, Monster Garage, has aired on the Discovery Channel. It has recently been revealed that the show is coming back as a reboot and Jesse James is set to be host once again. The original Monster Garage aired back in June 23, 2002 and ended on June 12, 2006. The show consisted of five people with expertise in fabricating, mechanical and modifying in order to transform a vehicle into a "monster machine."

Jesse James is the owner and founder of the custom chop, West Coast Choppers. According to the Discovery Channel, the new season of Monster Garage will feature an "upgraded garage, cutting-edge technology and a renewed passion for creating some of most mind-blowing vehicles to ever drive across television screens." During a brief interview, Jesse James stated, "It's crazy to think my relationship with Discovery Channel started exactly 20 years ago. After all this time, I'm still excited to step into the Monster Garage."

Further explaining his happiness and excitement, Jesse boasted, "Excited to work hard and push the limits again. Showing people what you can do with teamwork, skills and a refusal to quit." Chief Brand Officer of The Discovery Channel, Nancy Daniels, stated, "Jesse James is one of a kind. His builds are incredible; challenging on all fronts, but more than worth it in the end. He is bringing back Monster Garage to his discovery home after 14 years with even more tricks up his sleeve."

According to other news reports, in 2013, Jesse James also opened and owns a custom gun business called, Jesse James Firearms Unlimited. The company unveiled a 1911 pistol and an AR-15 rifle. Jesse and his ex-wife, Sandra Bullock, met in 2003 when she took her godson on a tour of the West Coast Choppers facility. They married in 2005 but soon split in 2010 after Jesse was involved in a cheating scandal. Jesse issued a public apology blaming himself for the whole situation.

Jesse James has since moved on from that fiasco but has been involved with the law. Fans would hope that this new venture would create a brighter future for the custom designer. He has traveled the world and honed in on his metal-working skills. He is passionate on returning to the show in order to inspire a new generation of craftsmen. All it takes is hard work and dedication and Jesse James is ready to move forward. The new season of Monster Garage has no exact premier date just yet.
