Diddy Makes
Television History: It's Diddy TV
It's Diddy TV: Sean "Diddy" Combs has already
dominated the worlds of fashion and music. Now, he
is making history as one of the most prolific and
popular African American television producers to
date. With an astounding four shows running
simultaneously and several more in development, he
is well on his way to achieving this goal.
"When I do something, it's got to be the biggest
and the best. I'm really proud to be one of TV's
leading producers right now and am working hard
toward achieving a television legacy like Aaron
Spelling," says Combs.
As the executive producer of the hit MTV show
Taquita & Kaui, airing Mondays at 10:30PM ET/PT on
MTV, Diddy documents the lives of two girls who
met on his series Making the Band 3. Although they
didn't make the final cut, the deep friendship
they formed and shared passion to make it big in
the entertainment business has brought them to Las
Vegas to take another shot at showbiz, resulting
in unexpected and hilarious situations.
Leading into Taquita & Kaui is Run's House,
another Diddy-produced hit MTV show. Now in its
third season, the show offers a glimpse into the
lives of hip-hop royalty Reverend Run and his
family. Traditional family values are spun around
by a most untraditional man, providing a constant
dose of both laughter and heartache. The series
airs at 10PM ET/PT on MTV.
Coming up on MTV in June, Diddy is back with
Making the Band 4. Last year, Making the Band 3
proved to be a monster hit as it formed the group
Danity Kane, whose self-titled album debuted at #1
on the Billboard 200 and generated a string of hit
singles. This season, Diddy has set out to find
and form the next male superstar group. After
screening thousands of performers, Diddy has
selected finalists he feels could be the next
dancing and singing sensation.
Adding comedy producer to his list of credits,
Diddy has teamed up with HBO for P. Diddy
Presents: The Bad Boys of Comedy, now in its
second season. The show features what Diddy
describes as the "edgiest, youngest, freshest
comics in America." Besides creating and executive
producing the show, Diddy appears in each episode
introducing and reacting to each performer. The
show can be seen Fridays at midnight on HBO.
Declared as one of "The 100 Most Influential
People in the World" by Time Magazine, Sean
"Diddy" Combs oversees one of the world's most
dominant urban entertainment companies,
encompassing businesses such as recording, music
publishing, producer management, television and
film production, apparel and cosmetics. He has
been seen in such films as Made, Monster's Ball,
and Carlito's Way: Rise to Power. In addition,
Diddy starred on Broadway in the Tony Award
winning show A Raisin In The Sun, which will debut
as a made-for-television film on ABC this fall.
Diddy not only stars in the film, but also serves
as executive producer. Currently his critically
acclaimed album Press Play is available in stores,
featuring the single "Last Night (feat. Keyshia
Cole)" which is a recent top 10 hit on the
Billboard Hot 100 chart.
