Hollywood's Walk Of Fame Lands TV Deal!
Filed under: TV News > Reality Television
The grandfather of reality television, Mark Burnett has plans to produce a show based on Hollywood's Walk of Fame!
Mark Burnett Productions is pitching a one-off special about the 50th anniversary of the Los Angeles landmark around to networks, which will hopefully pave the way for a series of shows on the Walk of Fame and those being inducted!
"The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce has grand plans for the 50th anniversary of the Walk of Fame to celebrate the wonderful achievements of the creative community. We have long pursued a television show about the Walk of Fame and are delighted that dream is being realized to mark the culmination of this celebration," says Chamber of Commerce prez Leron Gubler.
If Burnett gets the green light, he plans to give a portion of profits to the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce to help put a dent in the $4 million price tag to refurbish the Walk of Fame.
Pay it forward!

Sounds stupid but Mark Burnett is not the grandfather of reality tv. There has been various forms of reality tv since the start of television. But modern reality tv probably started with An American Family in the seventies. And give some credit to the Real world. Be smart about something once in a while.
