A-Team icon Mr. T recently inked a deal for his own TV Land television show.
Mr. T has signed a deal to star in a pilot for the channel called “I Pity the Fool,” in which he’ll dole out advice and try to help people in difficult situations.
“We are very excited to work with Mr. T and Lions Gate on ‘I Pity the Fool,'” says Sal Maniaci, head of development for TV Land. “By putting Mr. T in an unfamiliar environment, viewers will have the experience of seeing him back up his famous words and attitude with concrete actions.”
“I Pity the Fool” will find Mr. T acting as a “motivational guru” helping people improve their personal and professional lives. Mr. T will use his own varied life experience as basis for his strategy to help others. The pilot is set to go into production in October.
