If you enjoy unscripted TV of any kind today, you owe a big thanks to the original reality show - MTV'S "THE REAL WORLD," which premiered in 1992. In honor of Paramount + streaming "THE REAL WORLD HOMECOMING: NEW YORK," my guest is George Verschoor, who produced and directed seasons 1-4 of "The Real World" and is a true pioneer of unscripted television. George gets emotional talking about what it was like to return to the original loft with the season 1 cast, where he and the show's creators launched the series 30 years ago. He also reflects on some of his most powerful memories from the groundbreaking reality series, including what it was like to film with season 3's Pedro Zamora just before he passed away from AIDS. We also chat about our time working together on Extreme Makeover Home Edition. Give it a listen and check out "The Real World Homecoming: New York" on Paramount +
