Ken Tarr's Reality TV Racket - Page 1 - News - Los Angeles - LA Weekly
I actually know someone who was on one of Oprah's new shows (Unfaithful), but their story was 100% real. It just re-showed again the other day. Not sure how the background people didn't catch it because there's a gap between when they shoot and when they show they air the episode.
What the host didn't know is that K.T. was actually 31-year-old Ken Tarr, a budding mastermind of the reality TV hoax. Over the past five months, working out of his modest Los Angeles apartment, Tarr had talked his way onto eight different shows taped in five different cities each time cloaked in a different persona. He'd become a dissonant saboteur in the machinery of sleaze that sprawls across our televisions.
