SANTA MONICA, CA, July 27, 2009 – “The T.O. Show” follows NFL superstar Terrell Owens as he tries to shed his notoriously outspoken persona of “T.O.” and show the world his softer side.  This week his journey continues in an emotionally-charged episode. No man is complete without his roots, so Terrell travels back to his hometown to visit some of the key players and places that shaped him.

Inspired by Mo’s efforts to connect with the half sister she’s never met, Terrell packs his bags and flies (with Mo and Pablo, of course) to his hometown of Alexander City, Alabama.  Once there, he delivers an inspirational speech to the athletes from his high school and has a bittersweet meeting with his grandmother, the woman who raised him and is suffering from Alzheimer’s.  From there, Terrell and Mo visit the house he grew up in while he reminisces about a less-than-carefree upbringing, all leading to a tense encounter with his estranged father, a man whom he hardly knows.  In an attempt to find, will Terrell be able to finally come to terms with his difficult childhood? Tune in for this week’s episode of “The T.O. Show”, premiering Monday, August 3 at 10PM.*
