| | *OT* Cramer may crown "King of Wall Street"?...
Just what the world needs. Yet another reality TV show. Apparently Mad Money's shriekmeister Jim Cramer is developing one currently named "King of Wall Street".
YAWN.
Jim Cramer, the frothy-mouthed, crazy-eyed millionaire host of Mad Money on CNBC, is about to enter the land of genuine lunatics: press-obsessed real-estate moguls, power-mad billionaires, the editors of various glossy magazines and people who eat cockroaches for money. He’s developing a reality-TV show. King of Wall Street, as the show is presently called, is being conceived on the West Coast and is based loosely on the formula of The Apprentice, according to two sources familiar with the plans.
The show, if made, would air on CNBC or NBC.
In an early blueprint, a group of contestants would be given a certain amount of money to invest. Then, as in life, whoever makes the most money wins.
Naturally, there would be diversions along the way—games and contests, in which the business-savvy participants will try to sell stock to monkeys or compete for who can go the longest without hitting on CNBC “Money Honey” Maria Bartiromo.
Presented with that general description of the project in an e-mail, Mr. Cramer wrote back almost immediately: “NO COMMENT.”
