Simple Plan's Pierre Bouvier to Host New MTV Series 'Damage Control'
Show premieres on March 6 at 9:30 p.m. ET/PT as part of channel's successful SUNDAY STEW block
Guest stars include Simple Plan, Fat Joe, J.C. Chasez, Omarion, Hulk Hogan, and more
NEW YORK, Feb. 23, 2005 (PRNewswire) -- MTV: Music Television today announced that Simple Plan lead singer Pierre Bouvier will host its new "Sunday Stew" series DAMAGE CONTROL, premiering March 6 at 9:30 p.m.
"Simple Plan is a band that has really connected with our audience
over the past two years, and we're excited to build upon that relationship
by bringing Pierre into our 'Sunday Stew' line-up," commented Rod
Aissa, Senior Vice President of Talent & Series Development. "Pierre's
charisma and appeal will be a great fit for the 'Stew' block and we're
eager to let our viewers see him in this new role."
Other acclaimed performers who got their start on MTV include Adam Sandler,
Jon Stewart, and Chris Rock. The Sunday Stew includes "Punk'd"
featuring Ashton Kutcher; "Pimp My Ride" featuring rapper and
car enthusiast Xzibit, and "Viva La Bam" featuring Bam Margera.
"I am stoked to be working with MTV on this new series," added
Bouvier. "I feel honored to be included in MTV's Sunday Stew lineup
alongside Xzibit, Ashton, and Bam. It's an incredible opportunity."
DAMAGE CONTROL is a hilarious real-life version of the classic '80s comedy
"Risky Business." Faced with compromising situations thanks
to the DAMAGE CONTROL team of improv actors, the parents watch from next
door with Bouvier, trying to guess just what their son or daughter might
do next. When guest star/rapper Fat Joe stops by and offers to buy the
family's house, will the subject of the prank sign the deal -- without
checking with his parents first? Will another subject star in a local
politician's commercials after finding out that the politician isn't quite
the upstanding citizen he appears to be? With cash at stake, how well
do these parents know their kids, and how honest will these teenagers
be with their parents when the parents return home. Guest stars include
Vanilla Ice, Kelly Clarkson, Hulk Hogan, Vanessa Carlton, Omarion, J.C
Chasez, Rob Schneider, Wee Man, T.I., the band Simple Plan, and many more.
DAMAGE CONTROL's theme song is Simple Plan's "Me Against The World,"
from their platinum album Still Not Getting Any.
Although he has been the lead singer of Simple Plan since 1999, this will
be Bouvier's first foray into hosting a television series. Simple Plan's
newly released sophomore album "Still Not Getting Any..." went
platinum after four months of release and features the Top-10 pop hit
Welcome to My Life and current chart topper Shut Up. Their previous album
"No Pads, No Helmets, Just Balls..." was released on Lava Records
in 2002 and sold over 2 million albums and spawned several top 10 hits
including "I'd Do Anything," "Addicted" and "Perfect."
In addition, Simple Plan were honored in 2003 with a MTV Video Music Award
nomination for Best New Artist and won the 2003 & 2004 MuchMusic People's
Choice Award. Simple Plan was also nominated for a 2004 MTV Video Music
Award, in the category of Viewer's Choice. For more information on Simple
Plan, go to http://www.simpleplan.com/ .
The "Sunday Stew" is one of the network's most successful and
coveted programming blocks; last season, the Sunday Stew block was the
most watched in its time period (Sun 9-10:30p) among males 12-17 versus
all of television, even out-delivering broadcast. In addition, the Sunday
Stew block ranked number one in its time period among P12-24 versus all
cable programming reaching 30.5 million viewers.

PUNK NEWCOMERS SIMPLE PLAN GO THE DISTANCE
DEBUT ALBUM NO PADS, NO HELMETS…JUST BALLS
OFFICIALLY CERTIFIED PLATINUM
September 08, 2003— NEW YORK, NY— Punk n’ roll newcomers Simple Plan have reached an impressive milestone: the critically acclaimed five-piece punk outfit’s debut album No Pads, No Helmets…Just Balls is officially platinum, signifying sales of more than 1 million units sold. The band’s endless globetrotting tour schedule, energetic live shows and massive radio support have made Simple Plan one of the biggest success stories of the year.
No Pads, No Helmets…Just Balls spawned the incredibly catchy hit singles I’d Do Anything and Addicted. I’d Do Anything peaked at # 15 on the Top 40 chart while Addicted rose to # 10. The band’s current single Perfect which just went to radio, could become the band’s biggest single to date. Currently, Perfect is ranked #3 on MTV’s TRL and is the #2 most downloaded video on the channel’s website.
Simple Plan’s debut was released on Lava Records March 5, 2002 and it’s been quite a journey since. The band’s humble beginnings began opening for punk icons Green Day, blink-182 and then moved on to subsequent tours with Good Charlotte, Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Avril Lavigne and others. Simple Plan most recently completed a headline stint on this year’s Warped Tour and will soon announce a North American headline tour (with soon to be announced special guests) which will kick off in early November and run through May 2008. The band also plans to release a DVD, which is scheduled for release this November.
In
addition, Simple Plan also were honored with a hard-earned MTV Video Music
Award nomination for Best New Artist and won the MuchMusic People’s
Choice Award. The band also did television appearances on Leno, Late Night
with Conan O’Brien, Jimmy Kimmel Live, the Late Late Show with Craig
Kilborn, Pepsi Smash and a variety of MTV programming.
