“This series is my foray into the ‘reality-ish’ television world where viewers will meet the loveable, unpredictable, and often challenging people who live with the real Jason Seaver. We take our relatable real-life stories and blow them up to amuse and amaze, tossing in a handful of celebrity friends along the way.”
Those celebrity friends include David Hasselhoff, Bob Saget, Wayne Gretzky, John Stamos and Bill Maher.
Unusually Thicke also features the 67-year-old’s third wife Tanya (who is nearly half his age) and his teenaged son Carter from his second marriage.
