Default The Dave Ramsey Project - Reality TV

Dave Ramsey is heading to reality TV. Apparently he has signed a contract with CBS to do a reality TV show series pilot (which they hope will turn into a full reality TV series) as well as develop a syndicated series. The reality TV show has been tentatively named The Dave Ramsey Project with the purpose "...to teach valuable financial lessons to the families on his show while also sharing his wisdom with the viewing public."

CBS has ordered a reality series pilot from Dave Ramsey, the inspiring and passionate personal finance coach/radio host/best-selling author, who will produce and star in the project. THE DAVE RAMSEY PROJECT (working title) will utilize his unique and infectious approach to help families analyze and understand their dismal financial state to then take steps to get themselves out of debt...

"Dave Ramsey has the potential to be a true force on the television screen, combining a dynamic and inspiring persona with knowledge and expertise of how to make a difference in someone's life," said Nina Tassler, President, CBS Entertainment. "It's a distinct and relatable concept from a very charismatic on-screen personality who engages his guests and audience with his own unique style and flare."


This will be interesting to see if CBS and Dave Ramsey can develop an educational show that also holds the public's attention when it comes to personal finances. The danger is that reality TV loves extremes, but if you always have the extremes, can you still get the message across to the average person. That will be the challenge. Keep your eyes open for this series in the future.

Awesome! I would definitely watch! I just also read about a new program called "Broke Folk" -- kind of like the "Biggest Loser" but for people who are in debt. I don't think this one has been picked up by a network yet though...

I just heard this and am in the process of reading his book. The library finally said it was my turn to read it! Almost enought to make me wish I had a TV! OH well, maybe one of you could review it on this thread and tell me the high points.
