NBC Announces Premiere Date for I Want to Be A Hilton


I WANT TO BE A HILTON (premiering with consecutive episodes on Tuesday, June 21, 8-9 p.m. ET and 9-10 p.m. ET; regular time Tuesdays, 9-10 p.m. ET) ? "I Want to Be a Hilton" is a fresh, humorous -- and sometimes poignant ode to the glamour and style of New York as reflected by its host and mentor Kathy Hilton, matriarch of one of the most ubiquitous families in the world.

At the conclusion of each episode, Hilton eliminates the candidates based on the results of weekly challenges. The finalist wins an extravagant prize package and the opportunity to live the high life, a la a Hilton, for a year. The series is produced by Endemol USA and the executive producers are Paul Buccieri, Jason Hervey, Rick Hilton and Danny Salles.

2. Who wants to be a Hilton? Why must we glamourize these

vapid rich people?

3. I'd rather be a Hyatt

that way I'd have one of those cool multistory atriums :-)

4. Our culture is dead.

5. A "reality show" about wanting to be famous for being famous

or at least living like someone who is famous for living famously.

Can we have actual TV shows again, PLEASE?!?!?

7. So sad...

While they take shows like American Dreams off the air and place this type of garbage on instead. American television is dead.

6. Come the glorious revolution

The whole Hilton clan should be stripped of their assets and forced to live in public housing.
