LOS ANGELES— Fox Reality Channel, the only all-reality, all-the-time television network, has locked in a distribution partner for “Gimme My Reality Show!” and has named Target Entertainment as its distribution partner to license the show’s format and finished episodes worldwide.
 
Premiering Saturday, October 11, “Gimme My Reality Show!” provides a new twist in the celebrity reality competition genre. Seven celebrities will have the chance to win their very own original series on Fox Reality Channel.  They will be assessed by a panel of judges as they embark on a variety of creative challenges. One by one the celebrities are eliminated until the series is down to the final three. The viewers will then be able to vote for their favorite on foxreality.com and by phone. The viewer’s winning choice will be announced during the show’s grand finale airing on November 4, Election Night.
 
“’Gimme My Reality Show!’ is not only a fun and thoroughly entertaining series but it’s an innovative and original concept. It is in fact the ultimate focus group which takes place via the format of the show itself” said Bob Boden, Fox Reality Channel Senior Vice President of Programming. “'There isn’t any other series out there which asks viewers to choose their own star of a reality series. And whoever wins will really have earned their 16th minute of fame.”
 
 “We are thrilled to be the international distribution partner on ‘Gimme My Reality Show!’,” said Target Entertainment’s Glen Hansen, senior vice president, sales and acquisitions, US (West Coast). Due to its highly original and very fun concept, we expect strong interest and sales in both the finished show and the format.”
 
“Gimme My Reality Show!” promises to be colorful, humorous and fun series with celebrities that don’t take themselves seriously and who all vie to stay in the public eye.  The cast consists of Kato Kaelin, Traci Bingham, Bobby Trendy, Ryan Starr, Gretchen Bonaduce, AJ Benza and Susan Olsen.  The judges include Michael Schneider, TV editor of Daily Variety; Scott Sternberg, veteran reality-show producer (Fox Reality Channel’s “The Academy”); and Adrianne Curry, winner of the first cycle of “America’s Next Top Model.”
 
“Gimme My Reality Show!” is produced by Natural 9 Entertainment. Carol Sherman is the President and CEO of Natural 9 and Jeff Androsky serves as the President of Production and Development.
