This shot will be a one shot/This shot will be recored on the cell phone
5 a Lots of Photos of dad Drinking are shown (VO Guy)Unbeknownst to the show, we learned that Guy wasn’t really
addicted to chalk. However, we later learned the reason
behind the lie was to get his father, Mr. Blank, some real
help since he was the one dealing with a major addiction.
Given that he was so close to the show we decided to send
him to rehab. After seeing the pain he has caused on his
family, leading his son just to fake an addiction in order
to get him some help, he agreed to go. Fast-forward, three
months later, Mr. Blank is doing better now; his family and
friends are still around him and supporting him. Guy did
apologize for the lie; he realized that it’s not cool to
fake an addiction for attention when there are REAL PEOPLE
out there with REAL ADDICTIONS.
5 b Still see Photos (VO PH) Wow, That’s Deep (VO Director) CUT!
