Hammer in new reality show
By CMU Editorial | Published on Friday 20 February 2009
I feel as though I already knew this, but I don’t necessarily think we covered it before. According to reports MC Hammer is to star in a new TV reality show later this year, and shooting begins next week. ‘Hammertime’ will chronicle the eighties star’s life in Oakland, California, and run for eleven episodes.
Executive producer JD Roth says: “Here’s a dad with five kids, married to the same woman for more than 23 years, living in the same place where he grew up and going to church every Sunday. He’s had his ups and downs, and it’s what makes him such a character you root for. I really wanted to tell the future of MC Hammer. What kind of dad is he?”
As previously reported, Hammer is due to perform at a one off co-headline gig with Vanilla Ice in Utah.
