Want Your College Loan Debt ‘Paid Off’? Go on TruTV’s New Game Show
Is TruTV going to solve student debt? No, don’t be silly. But one lucky contestant will get their student loans paid off by the network Tuesday night.
The network will debut its new game show “Paid Off” Tuesday at 10 p.m., which will see three college grads get a chance at winning their freedom from student debt. The show is hosted by “Orange Is the New Black’s” Michael Torpey (he’s also starred in a bunch of commercials for Chase and Hanes, alongside Michael Jordan). “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire” alum Leigh Hampton serves as showrunner.
If the idea of a game show to help people pay off what is a serious real-world issue for many sounds ridiculous, Torpey agrees.
