Yeah, I’m not kidding. I just got this call and talked with the producer and she asked me to spread the word . . . Here’s what you need to know:
True Life is MTV’s award-winning series that covers diverse topics that are important to our audience, ranging from pop culture trends to breaking news issues. Topics in the past have included hard hitting topics such as drug addiction (crystal meth, oxycontin, etc), parents divorcing, to much lighter subjects like what it’s like to be a Justin Timberlake fan. And since the series premiere in 1998, MTV’s audience has kept wanting more constantly tuning in, making True Life the most popular documentary series in our channel’s history.
Right now, the working title for an upcoming episode is True Life: I have roommate issues. We’re looking to identify candidates who are CURRENTLY having some serious roommate problems. If they’re a slob, personality conflicts, thief, etc. And we’d love to get BOTH sides.
You can check out episodes of the show here.

Since its first episode in 1998, True Life has provided a window into the struggles, hopes, and dreams of young people. Narrated solely by its characters, each episode documents the unusual–and often remarkable–circumstances of real individuals, whether it’s about soldiers returning from Iraq, deaf teenagers, or people living with autism. We’ve given all of them–and hundreds of others–the opportunity to tell their own stories directly to their peers in this powerful series that uniquely reflects the experiences and cultures of this generation.
There you have it, for what it is worth. Go ahead and email them if you’re interested. roommate@mtvn.com
