FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
AMERICA’S ORIGINAL GENTLEMAN IS BACK
TO HELP PROMOTE CHANGE
FONZWORTH BENTLEY HOSTS A SECOND SEASON OF
MTV’S HIT REALITY SHOW “FROM G’S TO GENTS”
FOLLOWS T.I.’S ROAD TO REDEMPTION WITH
A 90 MINUTE PREMIERE
(January 29, 2009—New York, NY) With the road to change officially on the way, MTV along with host Fonzworth Bentley brings fans a second season of the hit reality show “From G’s to Gents” premiering February 10 at 10PM ET/PT. The 90 minute special will delve into each G’s past and present life up unto the time that they take their first step into the house. The show’s first season brought fans into the world of fourteen (14) G’s from all over the country who wanted to shed their bad boy image and be invited into the “Gentleman’s Club” and now sixteen (16) new G’s vie for the same chance to join last year’s winner Creepa in this very prestigious membership.
This season also marks Bentley’s role as one of the show’s producers, having a hand in helping to focus more on bringing out the real life stories for these young men. “From Gs to Gents is not just another television show for me and the crew. This is a transformational program whose desire is to help young men expand their choices in life,” states Bentley. “It was important for me to be a part of the production team so that I can add another layer of support to our mission.”
As one of the many champions for change with the 2008 Presidential campaign for Barak Obama, Bentley is using that momentum to motivate and educate. “President Obama is the ultimate example of the redefinition of “Cool”. He’s helping young men see that with an education, having clear goals, confidence and style; they too can reach for the stars. That’s what this movement is all about,” adds Bentley.
In this season’s episodes the guys will be guided through new lessons and challenges ranging in everything from Style, Chivalry, Work Ethic, and Philanthropy. Over the course of the ten hour-long episodes, the men will be tested on how well, and willingly, they absorb the lessons of all that it takes to become a “Gentleman.” Each week, the G that fails to grow closer to becoming a Gentleman will be eliminated and denied membership to the “Gentleman’s Club.” In the end, one G will walk away with 100,000 dollars and the opportunity to call himself a true Gentleman.
