From Gs to GentsPremiere date: Tuesday, 23 September 2008 at 21h30
From G's to Gents rounds up 14 rough-around-the-edges young men from across the US and gives them the chance to go from G to gent and walk away with some cold, hard cash.
From executive producer Jamie Foxx, From G's to Gents schools diamonds in the rough on how to lose the front, learn self-respect, realize their self-worth and market themselves accordingly.
The wannabe gentlemen learn everything from style and grace to etiquette and chivalry. The G's discover that with the right tools, they can become true gents.
Upon setting foot inside their posh Hollywood Hills mansion - known as the Gentleman's Club - the boys are whipped into shape by host Fonzworth Bentley, the quintessential gentleman.
After stealing the spotlight as Diddy's flawlessly dressed personal assistant, Fonzworth's sense of style and impeccable manners earned him a reputation as a man of class.
In each episode of the show the G's will be taught an important lesson - from how to make a good first impression to always looking their best to how to maintain a positive attitude to keeping their composure in the face of conflict to how to treat a lady and speak eloquently.
The G's will undergo a total transformation; one that forces them to answer tough questions about who they are and who they hope to become. They will strive to show the world their full potential. But, in the end, only one will graduate from G to gent.
Who will it be?
