"Conjuring Kesha" mixes humor and terror

Kesha Discovery+

When it comes to paranormal investigation shows, there's often a fine line between intentional humor, and unintentional humor. "Conjuring Kesha," which debuted on Discovery+ on Friday, triumphantly lands in the former category by allowing viewers to tag along to some of the most haunted locations in the U.S. alongside the show's host, pop singer Kesha, who enters each site with just the right amount of grave curiosity and "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" level witticisms. 

Over the six episodes of the show's first season, Kesha is joined by celebrity guests such as comedian Whitney Cummings, former tour mate Betty Who, and queen of bounce Big Freedia, who is featured on Beyoncé's latest single, "Break My Soul," off of her upcoming album, "act i RENAISSANCE." In the show's first episode, "Not Today, Satan," Kesha and Cummings explore the Brushy Mountain State Penitentiary located in Petros, Tennessee, which is said to be haunted by the trapped spirits of several of the violent criminals and mentally deranged murderers who were held in the facility many miserable years ago.
