About The Show

Nowadays you're a nobody if you don't have your own reality show. Andy feels that he'd throw his whole career away to have his very own reality show. So he begged MTV and got his wish. Now he's gonna subject 12 innocent Hollywood wannabes to a grueling process as he searches for his next assistant. The winner gets a new car, a new wardrobe and a cool job working in Hollywood. Andy gets a revived career, 12 shrinks (the kids) to deal with his problems and the opportunity at cocktail parties to say, "Oh, you don't have your own reality show? Well, I do!" The contestants have a dream, Andy has an agenda--together they are headed for reality chaos as Andy begs, borrows and steals from other shows and discovers that "this whole elimination thing is a lot harder then I thought." Good luck, suckers!

Premieres Monday, July 12 at 10:30 p.m. ET/PT, 9:00 CT.

I saw a commercial for this the other day and had to laugh. What great take-off on The Apprentice! And judging from Andy Dick showing up on The Surreal Life and constantly being on Celebrities Uncensored, it's not hard to believe he wanted his own reality show.

I like the guy's humor (at times) in an odd sort of way and I'm actually kind of happy that he got his wish. Now here's hoping to it actually being decent and not just a bad rip-off.

Ugh. I can't stand Andy Dick. I was always neutral about him, but after the appearance he made on a Trading Spaces episode, the guy is like fingernails on a chalk board.

Geez. Will MTV give a show away to anyone who pitches one? It would seem so.

So did anyone watch? It was actually hilarious! The butler is a scream, and Andy stepped up the funny with some pretty clever jokes! I recommend it for anyone who enjoys Joe Schmo.

Crap! I forgot this was on. Oh well, I'll catch it one of the million times that MTV repeats it. Thanks for the reminder though! Glad to hear it was hilarious!

Something is seriously wrong with this man....the "clipped" motion he always makes cracks me up!

I saw him on a talk show, and they showed clips, I agree with you Scorpio! The clip they showed was he wanted them to run in a 5K I think, and win him something, but they werent fast enough, so he stopped got out of his car yelled at them and then tried to interfere with the other runners (grabbing their feet etc) OK, you know they had permission (releases etc) so that was a "funny bit" But his comment afterwards, werent funny to me!

And on the talk show he said they werent telling them about the prizes for winning, but I'm pretty sure the winner wasnt going to have to work for Andy Dick, Andy was like the front guy, if they can make it thru Andys tests, then they would know...

I love the butler! I wish they'd give him more air time then Andy.

i fell down laughing when andy went to put out a constestant's torch and caught his coconut 'outer' on fire and then the bushes caught and pretty soon there was a pretty good fire going.....and you hear sirens in the distance as the episode ends.

you get what you expect out of him. his license plate says it all:
A DICK


it puts me in mind of those who were upset when roseanne sang the national anthem at the padres game years ago--what did they expect when they had roseanne sing?! they got roseanne. duh!

i can take andy in small doses and liked this show because of the funny take-offs on 'the apprentice'. when i saw the cots all lined up in the garage, rather than a loft in trump towers, and the 'handler' coming in through the big garage door to give them their assignments, it was pretty entertaining.

I think it might be Anna.She's the dark haired one. Or the blonde woma., Tamika. But I'm pretty sure he's seeing Anna. I have heard that he is bi-sexual, so maybe he's seeing that dark haired guy who was clipped then came back for F2.
