He indicated that the show was created by Khris
Ubah, written by Khris Ubah and Innocent Anoke and directed initially by
Aondohemba Orya.
“As an entertainment programme, it has the fun aspect of it, but it also has more educating insights for the youths and the general public to learn from as regards to the stigma that surrounds virtually every scene actor and ost importantly filmmakers as being bad eggs.” he said.
“Of course it reveals the fake lifestyles of most actors generally as well as highlights the fakeness of most production houses and filmmakers so as to enable upcoming actors and models or entertainers to be mindful of the signs of the these dangers like coning, sex for role, unnecessary audition charges.”
Currently airing on DSTV Channel 277 via Metro TV every Wednesday and
repeats every Friday, he explained that majority of our casts are basically
upcoming artiste and thus it becomes a platform for them to showcase their
talents.
