[TMC]

In today's episode, we'll be taking a look at FIVE forgotten MTV shows from the 2000s. Including Celebrity Rap Superstar, You've Got a Friend, Trick It Out, Yo Momma, and Doggy Fizzle Televizzle.

Celebrity Rap Superstar was a show that paired up celebrities with established rappers, who would become their mentor in the world of hip-hop. The contestants were Kendra Wilkinson, Shar Jackson, Sebastian Bach from Skid Row, Perez Hilton, Countess Vaughn, Jason Wahler, Efren Ramirez, and Jamal Anderson. Their mentors were Redman, Bizarre, Bubba Sparxxx, Warren G, Tone Loc, Kurupt, Too Short, and MC Lyte. The show was hosted by Kevin Hart and Liz Hernandez, and judges included DMC, Da Brat, and Big Boy. "You've Got a Friend" was created by Ashton Kutcher after Punk'd made a big splash on MTV, and involved a contestant who would be paired up with an actor (Crista Flanagan from MadTV and Mad Men, Joe Hursley from Accepted, Terminator Sarah Connor Chronicles, Resident Evil: Extinction, Fast & Furious, CSI, and more) who pretended to be their best friend. The actor would torment the contestant, but if they made it for 48 hours they'd win $15000. "Trick It Out" aired during the peak of MTV's "Pimp My Ride", and revolved around two auto shops who were given the same vehicle and went up against eachother in an upgrade competition. The show was narrated by Sway Calloway in season one, and hosted by RJ De Vera (The Fast and the Furious) and Becky O'Donohue from American Idol. MTV's Yo Momma was created and hosted by Wilmer Valderrama from That 70s Show. The show revolved around trash talkers who competed against one another for a $1000 cash prize. Doggy Fizzle Televizzle was a sketch comedy show created by Vernon Chatman (South Park, Wonder Showzen, Renegade Angel) and John Lee (The Heart, She Holler). It was a variety show that was very similar to Chappelle's Show, but released a few years earlier. Snoop Dogg was the host and often performed in a concert at the end with Tha Snoopadelics. The series had several guest stars, including Jackass stars Steve-O and Wee-Man.
