Gilbert considering reality show 

Post#1 » by closg00 » Thu Aug 21, 2008 10:02 am

Has anyone downloaded and listened to Gilbert's interview yesterday on WJFK?
Anyway, he's been approached to do a reality show, I hope he doesn't do it.

Mods - can't find the Gilbertology thread where this might belong.

Remember when Arenas pledged to drop all the nonsense and try to focus on being more professional? I think this qualifies as "nonsense".

I wouldn't jump to conclusions about this. The article said Gil mentioned that he was asked to do a reality show, not that Gil was seeking out to do one.

Gil mentioned a year & a half ago about the possiblity of doing a reality show but eventually backed off the idea and even turned down overtures from one network from personal knowledge.

It's not surprisjng that he's still getting asked about this. His personality would make for interesting TV so why hold it against him that he's even being asked?

Maybe it will be some Ninja Warrior-like competition at his house where the losers get thrown in the shark tank.

Ninja Warrior is pretty awesome, if it's anything like that I'm all for it.

I'm friends with one of the creators of Rob and Big, though I'm not sure if he's involved with this idea. Either way, even though it might represent my best chance to get to meet Gilbert Arenas, I really, really hope this show never happens, for a bunch of reasons.
