Former NFL star will host aspirational 'The Moment,' part of net's unscripted push

In a bid to ramp up its unscripted programming, USA Network has picked up the original reality series The Moment, hosted by former NFL star Kurt Warner.

The aspirational series will feature Warner, who famously went from bagging groceries to Super Bowl MVP, will give people a second chance at a career dream they put on hold. USA has ordered nine episodes to premiere in the third quarter.

The Moment will be executive-produced by Charlie Ebersol and Justin Hochberg through their Hochberg Ebersol Company.

"From the first moments of their pitch, we knew they were onto something that wasn't just the right creative fit for the brand, but was also a fresh take on personal and inspirational storytelling,"
said USA co-presidents Chris McCumber and Jeff Wachtel in a statement.

USA signaled its push into more reality fare last February when it hired Heather Olander as its senior VP of alternative programming. The net launched reality competition series WWE Tough Enough last April, though it continues to be known for its many successful hour-long dramas.

The aspirational series
Why is this typo funny to me? My first job out of HS was at Forest Lawn Mortuary. While I never did any embalming, it was explained to me that as much of the bodily fluids as possible had to be aspirated from the body.

aspirate: to draw by suction.

So, by the use of aspirational, the series is going to suck as much as it possibly can.

It's not a typo. It has another meaning aside from the one you used:

aspirational - strong desire, longing, or aim; ambition.

Still, they could have used ambitious instead. Then there wouldn't be any misconceptions.

Yeah, yeah. :razzed: I considered that, but why let logic get in way of humor? As a description of a reality series, the joke still works.
