Reality show for T.O.

Late friday afternoon, Banyan Productions issued a press release announcing that Terrell Owens has entered into an agreement with the company for a reality television show.

The show also promises Internet and mobile content, for those of you who have stronger stomachs than I do. The show is billed in the release’s headline as a “fitness reality show,” but there’s no explanation of what that means. The release also says the show “will combine T.O.’s passion for working out with his natural curiosity about other people.”

It promises guests from the world of fitness, sports and politics. T.O. interviewing Dubya? Or, even better, Rick Santorum?

Yes, I’m with all of you: I can’t wait for this show. And to prep you for it, let’s go with the new blog standard — an embedded video from YouTube:

Although this was apparently recorded by shooting a camera at the screen, it’s still T.O.’s appearance on Punk’d, and it’s still good.
