Rickey Smiley Lands New Reality Show, ‘Rickey Smiley For Real’

Smiley confirmed the news in a statement:

After two seasons of working with the ‘ins and outs’ of a scripted series while balancing my radio hosting responsibilities and my personal life, I realized the effort was redundant. There was a better opportunity to share through a reality lens – showing warts and all – my efforts to maintain a satisfactory professional and personal life as a single father and entrepreneur.
