Jeremy Eyes Headlining Reality Show Deal

HOLLYWOOD — Ron Jeremy is in preliminary discussions with ABC over a reality show about the adult world’s most recognized person.

“After all these years, I think we finally got it,” Jeremy’s publicist, Steve Banan, told XBiz. Banan marveled at a world where former New Edition singer Bobby Brown could get a reality show and Jeremy, who holds two Master’s degrees, couldn’t. “But I think we finally got it.”

Jeremy and Banan pitched a show to ABC that Banan said would feature Jeremy in a different light, away from his public persona. By having cameras follow him around all day, Jeremy would risk having his private become a public one. But it is an occupational hazard he is prepared to endures in order to broaden his mainstream visibility.

“I’ve worked with Mickey Rourke, Eric Roberts, Tommy Lee,” Jeremy said. “I’ve spoken at Oxford University in the same room as presidents and diplomats. I think I’m ready for this.”

Jeremy has appeared in reality shows like VH1’s “The Surreal Life” and the U.K.’s “The Farm,” in which Jeremy, Charlene Tilton of "Dallas" fame and Italian porn star-turned-politician Cicciolina lived on a farm as various cast members were voted off each week, “Survivor” style.

“I was beaten by a talking duck,” Jeremy said, referring to eventual winner, British children’s icon and ventriloquist Keith Harris.

Jeremy has never headlined his own reality show and, though he has appeared in numerous mainstream movies and sitcom cameos as himself, is eager to show the world that there are different facets to his character.

“There’s a lot more to me than porn,” he said.

Jeremy told XBiz that he got paid more for “The Farm” than he did for “The Surreal Life,” but Banan said that negotiations with ABC, which continue this Thursday with a network vice president, have not yet reached the money stage.
