APOLOGY IDOL! New Reality TV Series Begins Nationwide Talent Search for Best Public Apologies — Now With REAL News
“The public apology has become a fixture in American culture. The new series ‘Apology Idol’ seeks to capitalize on this trend.”
So says visionary executive producer Maxim Korelbonne.
“People get offended by anything and everything. There’s a good chance that at some point, everyone will issue a public apology. So it’s a good skill to develop and there is lots of hidden talent. Everyone has opinions on what makes a good one. That all adds up to a good reality TV competition.”
“We at ‘Apology Idol’ seek nothing less than the best public apology in the entire nation.”
An all-star judges panel will coach contestants and rate their apologies. Sincerity, completeness, and satisfaction are a few things they’ll be looking for. The judges will present their opinions live, and the viewing public will cast the final votes by text.
Judges signed on so far are:
Texas Senator Ronald R. Gubermann. Gubermann has expressed regret many times over his career. Usually he is making amends for his bigoted words.
Hip Hop Star Jorge Riddymz has apologized dozens of times for what many see as sexist lyrics.
