Veteran stand-up comic, radio show morning host and “Dish Nation” regular Rickey Smiley will be starring in his own reality show.
The show will be called “Rickey Smiley For Real” & will focus on how he tries to balance work and home life going back and forth between Birmingham and Atlanta. Smiley spends his weekdays in Atlanta taping his syndicated radio and TV shows but spends his weekends home in Birmingham. The reality show is produced by Atlanta-based Bobbcat Films, the same company that did his scripted show.
Smiley stated “After two seasons of working with the ‘ins and outs’ of a scripted series while balancing my radio hosting responsibilities and my personal life, I realized the effort was redundant,”……. There was a better opportunity to share through a reality lens – showing warts and all – my efforts to maintain a satisfactory professional and personal life as a single father and entrepreneur.”
Rickey Smiley’s show will debut in November on TV One.
