Mike 'The Situation' Sorrentino Branches Out to Web TV With New Contest and Series
The Situation is continuing to parlay his 'Jersey Shore'
fame into new forums, joining
YOBI.tv to host an acting contest. Thousands of competitors are currently fighting for a shot to win a paid role in a web series with The Situation; Audrina Patridge is hosting a similar contest.
"I can't wait to start filming the web series this summer," The Situation tells
PopEater. "After doing reality TV, it'll be cool to get to play a character that's completely different from myself. Asher [Levin] has written a hilarious script. I'll be playing a hip-hop star who gets chosen to be a judge on an 'American Idol'-style show. It's going to be a situation!"
Filmmaker K. Ashley Levin will write and direct the web show. The plot is summarized thusly:
Random Talent is a hilarious spoof of TV talent shows. Mike will play the role of a famous hip-hop star who is asked -- begged, actually -- by the producer to be the lead judge. The burden of keeping Mike's character happy falls to the second judge, played by YOBILaugh Season One Winner Ben Green, who was sent from England (where the show originated) to create a successful US version based in Detroit.
"You all choose who should be famous pretty much with your votes," Sitch says in an intro video. According to the contest rules, one male and one female will be selected. The web series will film in Michigan this summer.

Who in their right mind would turn on a TV to watch this dumb S_ _ _ do anything in the first place. He is one of the most untalented, unwatchable people I've ever seen trying to get into the back door of Hollywood. Please!!!!!!!!!!!!

You guys created this monster, as well as all the other monsters who do reality tv. Stop watching this crap and eventually they will go away. American TV is going south. There was a time when you had to actually have a talent to offer the viewers before you got a tv series.

105% correct. The general public has dumbed down and as a result you get dumb no talent bozos like this clown. I hope him,Snookie and the rest of those idiots from that show have to stay in Italy for a few years so we can be rid of them.
He's a legend in his own mind!

Why does he always have that stupid look on his face? The situation is that he is retarded, just like everyone else on Jersey Shore. I hope this idiot doesn't reproduce. Too bad working at the gym can't increase his IQ.
