'Mancow' And Family To Star In Reality TV Show

Mancow
Camera crews have started filming a new reality TV show featuring Chicago radio and TV show host Erich "Mancow" Muller.

Mancow told Jamie Sotonoff at dailyherald.com his contract prevents him from giving details, but the show will air on "a major network" this summer and will include footage of him with his wife's family in Barrington, and also with his family in western Missouri.

Cameras already have captured Mancow's daily routine, which involves getting out of bed at 2:30 a.m. to do his high-energy, nationally syndicated morning radio and TV show, "The Mancow Experience," on Elmhurst-based 1530-AM and FOX-owned WPWR Channel 50. A new highlights show, "The Mancow Mashup," airs on Channel 50 at 11 p.m. Saturdays.

The reality TV show is the latest project for Mancow, a polarizing radio personality since he ruled the Chicago airwaves with "Mancow's Morning Madhouse" in the mid 1990s and early 2000s. His outspoken personality, guns-and-babes focus, and right-wing politics attract a legion of loyal fans (called the Mancow Militia) but also plenty of haters.

Mancow — who's been repeatedly sued, fired and fined over the years for his on-air behavior — says the critics don't get to him.
