Eddie Griffin gets a real

The most infamous car crasher around (that isn't Nick Hogan) has gotten himself a new TV show.

Actor and funny man, Eddie Griffin, has had his reality show, Eddie Griffin: Going for Broke, picked up for VH1. It's to be about Griffin and his life of trying to be famous and a family man at the same time. Seems everyone has a show anymore. I have a pretty interesting life, I deserve a show dammit.

Griffin's show will be produced by the same company behind A&E's Gene Simmons reality show, Gene Simmons: Family Jewels. VH1 has ordered eight episodes of the Griffin series.
