About Me
Yo Momma is an American reality television game show hosted by Wilmer Valderrama, Sam Sarpong, Jason Everhart and Los Angeles radio DJ Big Boy on voice-over. The show is currently aired on MTV.The series is based on "the dozens," an African American oral tradition in which two individuals trade insults, typically directed at an opponent, his/her mother, or another member of his/her family, until one is unable to offer a comeback. In each episode, locals from various neighborhoods in a large city compete to win "cash money" by winning several rounds of "the dozens."Season 1 was taped in Los Angeles, and aired in spring 2006. Season 2 will take place in New York City, and will premiere in fall 2006.Basic Format
One of Valderrama's associates, Sam or Jason (who only use their first names), go to a neighborhood where five or six contestants take each other on in a free-for-all "dozens" competition. From there, two or three are selected and are then pitted against each other. Each neighborhood winner picked by Sam or Jason advances to a final "battle."After winning the neighborhood round, each contestant visits the other contestant's house with Valderrama in order to garner "ammunition" or "ammo" (embarrassing or unusual things that the contestant owns or does) to use against his or her opponent in the final round.The final battle then comprises several rounds: general jokes about the opponent's momma, jokes directed specifically at the opponent's home, living situation or personal style, and a final "knock-out" joke. Valderrama, in consultation with Sam and Jason, selects a winner, who receives $1,000 in "cash money" as Valderrama calls it, and moves on to the "Best of the Week" round."Best Of The Week"
The winners come back for a "Best Of The Week" show, where the format is slightly different. The four do a freestyle round, Wilmer and his posse pick the best, and then that one calls out another of the daily winners. These two compete in a round of "Yo Momma," as do the two remaining contestants; in this round, the contestants are limited to only one or two subjects (cheap and dumb, poor and fat, etc.) The four runners-up from that week's daily battles serve as the jury for these two battles, and determine which two participants advance to the finals. After determining the two finalists for that week, a special guest joins Wilmer for the weekly final battle.The final battle consists of three rounds, which are based on speed (each player gets 30 seconds to rank on the other), dissing the other player's relation or friend who has come along for the final, and the knockout joke. In the end, the winner gets another $1000 and also wins a game console, tickets to a sporting event or entertainment event (like a a stand up performance of Mike Epps), and dinner at either of two restaurants owned by Valderrama .. Geisha House and Dolce. The gaming products won by the weekly champion have been a Playstation Portable, Nintendo DS, Xbox 360, and Game Boy Micro.Example of a joke: Yo momma is so fat, When she goes swimming, whales start singing, "We are family, I got my sister with me." Yo momma is so fat she walked past the TV and i missed a whole season."Best of the Week" winners

Best of LA: The "Mommas" of the runners-up (who served as the jury in one round)Host Wilmer Valderrama searches Los Angeles looking for the best trash-talkers. This unscripted comedy competition series pits trash-talkers up against each other in a battle for $1,000 cash and a chance to advance to the final tournament for the chance at another $1,000 in cash and some extra prizes. On the heels of concluding a wildly successful first season, MTV: Music Television announced that Yo Momma, the popular trash-talking comedy competition, will return for a second season this fall. Hosted by Wilmer Valderrama, Yo Momma will return to showcase the trash-talking talents of an all new city: New York. Exploring every borough, neighborhood, and street corner, Wilmer and his sidekicks will canvas the Big Apple in search of New York's funniest amateur trash-talker. "Yo Momma is a hilarious ride that really connects with our audience, both in the afternoons and at night," said Lois Curren, Executive Vice President, Entertainment and Programming, MTV. "When Rod Aissa and I met Wilmer, his charm and creativity blew us away, so we knew it was an easy decision to bring the series back. We're excited to see all the great things New York has to offer." The full season of Yo Momma reached 61 million viewers (includes premiere and repeat telecasts) and the series ranked ..1 in its time period (Mon-Thu 6-630P) among the 12-34 year old audience versus cable competition. Additionally, it was the most watched in its time period among 12-24 year olds across all of television. Yo Momma is a no-holds barred competition that pits the funniest amateur trash-talkers against one another. In each episode of Yo Momma, Wilmer searches different neighborhoods to find the most astute trash-talkers. The finalists from each opposing area then will utilize information from "targeted home invasions" conducted by Wilmer to make their one-on-one slams incredibly personal. The top two contestants each day will compete for a cash prize and bragging rights of being the best clowner in their neighborhood, as well as the opportunity to move forward in the trash- talking tournament.
