Master P “No Excuses With Master P” Special Airs Oct. 26 On VH1
His slew-footed 2006 reality TV debut on Dancing With The Stars didn’t go over so well, but Master P has high hopes for his return to the tube in the VH1 special No Excuses with Master P.
No Excuses, a half-hour special premiering Monday, Oct. 26 @ 10:30PM, features P — whose real name is Percy Miller — trying to help a former gang member turn his life around through his philosophy of “work hard and never make excuses.”
“People think that the only thing that sells on TV is sex or people showing off their lifestyle or what not, but people want to think, too. They want to be educated,” he explains. “My goal is to touch people. To show others what someone had to go through to change their life so that maybe someone watching can do the same.”
