NYOnTap is an ardent fan of reality TV. We feel there's something honest and forthright about its exploitiveness. You can't get any more real or more exploitive than Life is too Short, NBC's latest reality TV show featuring Verne Troyer (Mini-Me of Austin Power's fame). Troyer, a 34 year old stuntman/actor promises to deliver many guilty laughs. A New Years baby, raised Amish ("We had to bale the hay, ride the wagons, not use zippers, and wear suspenders. The one good thing was, I didn't have to wear one of those hats"), Troyer split from his girlfriend of three years 6'2" model Genevie Gallen last year. The anouncement of their engagement in July created a firestorm of media attention. Under intense public scrutiny Gallen and Troyer were driven apart. Gallen later compared their relationship to an interacial relationship in the 1950s. Verne, a recovering alcholic, was driven to drink and almost to his death. Talented, rich, famous and lovelorn we fully expect Verne to become a gaint in reality television.
