For years, JR Digs wanted to star in his own network television show.  Determined to attain a level of stardom comparable to his childhood idol, Johnny Carson, and not sure on how to go about attaining any form of stardom, JR decided to buy it! In the summer of 2001, JR purchased air time and started his own brand of late night TV with a show called The JR Digs Show.   But buying your own air time comes with a steep price and eventually JR was in financial ruins.

Be Real is the culmination of JR’s search for that elusive network deal. Ironically, after all those years of struggle, JR is now in the position to give others the chance to be stars and all they have to do is be in the right place at the right time!
