MTV Wants ‘True Life’ Mama’s Boy
MTV is searching for a Jewish mama’s boy for an episode of “True Life.”
The show is looking for someone aged 16 to 28 who consistenly chooses his mother over his girlfriend. The episode will be called “True Life: I’m Dating a Mama’s Boy.”
“We really hope we can find a Jewish mama’s boy to feature, and we’ve already been searching far and wide,” David Abelson, the show’s producer, told JTA. “So far we have contacted Hillel houses across the country, JCCs and Jewish summer camps … but the search continues.”
Those interested in being considered should contact [email protected] and include recent photos.
“True Life” also is searching for Internet addicts, those who have lost trust with their parents and people preparing for the end of the world, among others.
