MC Hammer Gets Reality TV Show

How is it that American television audiences have yet to tire of the washed-up recording artist and family living a normal existence formula?  MC Hammer is the newest addition to A&E’s reality line-up.  Any guesses regarding the name of the show?  Anyone?  Predictably, Hammertime.  Sigh.

Cameras will follow Hammer, his wife of twenty-three years and their five children as they do exciting things like grocery shop and attend church whilst building a life in Hammer’s childhood home.  I’m just praying that he’s not doing it all in harem pants.

I don’t get it.

  • I first read that his wife is 23 years old and was like hoa, how did she get 5 childen already. Then I wondered how many times he’d been married. I read it for second time then and was relieved. 5 kids with 23 would just be crazy.

    • No, dude. He’s been married to the same woman for over 23 years… and they have 6 kids. Sounds like they’re happy, too.

  • ew, no way. I couldn’t even follow the dude on twitter. he is obnoxiously religious IMO.

    oh hammer don’t hurt ’em

  • Fuck that, he’d better do his show in Hammer pants and I hope the only way he gets from point A to point B is by Hammer dancing. And only speaks in Hammerisms.

    Can’t be worse than Dog, right?

  • Is it supposed to be a discount version of Runs House?
    But special guest should be Chris Brown seeking “counsel” from MC Hammer, now THAT would get ratings & be something to watch…

  • siggggh…..really?? is this what we’ve come to?
    there are still some brilliant writers who write clever and funny lines that will make you pee your pants – why won’t hollywood only employ the talented?
    i’ll watch reruns of family guy that i’ve seen 20 times before i’ll watch one episode of hammer time.

  • I’ll be folding laundry, realize his show is on and yell, “Stop! It’s Hammer time,” and go watch tv. mm hmm.

  • Don’t you guys think Hammer’s youngest son, Sammy is just………… a holy terror. He slapped the oldest boy on one of the episodes and no one even disciplined him. It’s Hammertime to do some disciplining!
