Reality TV Junkies: March 2007 Archives

 

MTV execs take care of their reality stars.  As one of the first networks to introduce reality programming, the Viacom owned network likes to keep their Real World, Road Rules and Fresh Meat cast members working.

I have been informed that MTV is bringing back two of their reality shows aimed at veterans.

In early April, MTV will debut the Inferno 3, a competition between MTV reality show alum.

Later that month, the newest installment of Fresh Meat, a show where newbies compete against former contestants from past MTV reality shows, will return.  

If you liked NBC's freakshow version of "American Idol" called "America's Got Talent," then you're going to love it this season.  Trashy talk show icon Jerry Springer will replace Regis Philben as the ringmaster of this talent circus.

The network released the news on Monday in a press release saying...

“To say the least, he is known for presiding over an unpredictable show where the unexpected is the typical order of each day.”

Springer, of course, hosted his namesake talk show, “The Jerry Springer Show” for 16 years and most recently appeared on "Dancing with the Stars" on ABC.

Regis Philbin hosted the talent show during its first season.  The New York-based star of “Live with Regis and Kelly” decided not to return to “America’s Got Talent” because of the “heavy travel schedule” involved with the show’s tapings in Los Angeles.

This is going to be good!  Wonder who they'll replace Brandy with if she goes to jail?
