SituationTV will be going live on FilmOn.TV, this Thursday, April 19th at 4pm (PDT).
Mike is one of the outrageous group of celebrities working on their own hit shows with FilmOn.TV - Andy Dick, Rampage Jackson, Ron Jeremy, Shauna Lamas-Sand and Kato Kaelin also create exclusive weekly shows while eccentric billionaire Alki David and Charlie Sheen are both share-holders.
"FilmOn is the perfect place to be as wild as I want. I'm excited to work in an uncensored environment and see where the show takes me," said The Situation.
FilmOn is infamous for its pranks because of owner/billionaire Alki David's world renowned assisted suicide on YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7cyX_N4EO4) as well as the Million Dollar sponsored Obama streaking video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GMVKDpmbLfA). FilmOn continues to have its own niche in pop culture as a wildcard and fan favorite.
"FilmOn is constantly growing, adding The Situation to our roster has been very exciting. His show will be unlike anything you've seen before," said Alki David.
The "Jersey Shore" star had come clean recently, admitting he had voluntarily sought help "to get control of a prescription medication problem" he had developed from "exhaustion" while filming Jersey Shore.
FilmOn has taken Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino out of the Jersey Shore and brought him to Beverly Hills to create daring, original content. This is sure to be an explosive partnership.
