In wonderful news for ~90 kids~ everywhere, MTV has announced plans to relaunch its seminal TV show ‘Cribs‘ on Snapchat.
In the rebooted version, celebs will guide Snapchat users through their crib (or, in 2016 speak, their personal house porn) while speaking directly to camera, which you might call a glorified Snapchat takeover… but MTV might call it the cheapest fucking TV show they’ve ever commissioned.
Early ’00s era ‘Cribs’ was a hotbed of iconic moments, including Mariah Carey in her bathtub…
….Marilyn Manson taking this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity…
….and Aaron Carter asking to show MTV his love shack.
The reboot is set to kick off June with Mac Miller, Austin Mahone and Travis Mills among the first artists to take part.
The whole ‘celebs show you inside their homes’ market has kinda been filled by Vogue‘s hyper-scripted ‘73 Questions‘ segment, but it’s feasible we could see another competitor in this addictive little niche – especially if it’s cheap as fucking chips to produce.
