Melissa Joan Hart Explains It All On truTV Tonight; Comedy Central Renews Two Series for 3rd Seasons
Melissa Joan Hart is going to explain it all again...this time about working moms. Motor City Masters is a brand new reality competition series on truTV produced by Bunim/Murray Productions in collaboration with Chevrolet. In search of America's next great car designer, each week contestants will be judged on their creativity, execution and forward-thinking design until only two designers remain. These finalists will face off and only one will be crowned the "Motor City Master". The winner of Motor City Masters will receive a brand new 2014 Camaro Z28, $100,000 cash and be named a Brand Ambassador for GM. Along with the talented group of contestants, Motor City Masters also features a star-studded slate of guest judges including actor Jesse Metcalfe (Dallas, Desperate Housewives), Fall Out Boy bassist Pete Wentz, baseball great David Justice and model and surfer Malia Jones. This week, actress and producer Melissa Joan Hart (Melissa & Joey, Sabrina the Teenage Witch, Clarissa Explains It All) takes the stage to help offer insight on the wants and needs of the working mom. The very special working mom-themed episode of Motor City Masters, premieres tonight on truTV at 10/9c.
