Following in the ranks of P. Diddy, Justin Timberlake has teamed up with MTV for a new reality game show, “The Phone.” The show begins with a phone call that asks the recipient if they would like to win $50,000. If they agree, they are sent on life-altering missions (think “Mission Impossible”). “The Phone” is set to premiere on MTV on April 21st.
Justin Timberlake’s second TV venture is a comedy on NBC titled, “My Problem With Women.” The show is an adaptation of a Peruvian program, “Mi Problema con las Mujeres.” The show is situated around a bachelor who seeks out a therapist to answer why all his relationships fail. The premise of this show has already been reproduced in 20 other countries.
