Marvin Latimer, host of The Marvin Show, burst on the small screen with CBS's 5th installment of Big Brother. As part of his strategy on the show he became the gourmet cook in the house and no one wanted to vote him off because of his new recipes each week.
Big Brother led to a short role on CBS’s Young and The Restless. After Y & R, Marvin’s love of cooking continued and he decided to produce his own cooking show. A copy of this show was sent to World Famous Celebrity Chef Rachel Ray and Oprah’s Harpo Productions. Rachel saw the show and invited Marvin to compete in her cooking competition on The Rachel Ray show where he competed for 4 episodes. After The Rachel Ray Show, Marvin decided to produce The Marvin Show.
What is the Marvin Show?
Well, if Howard Stern was black and could cook… this would be his cooking show. Marvin might say anything on the show and will take a shot at anybody from Starr Jones to Tiger Woods. The show has more beeps than a Jerry springer episode. It is an anti-establishment show that will always make you say "I can’t believe this is on TV." It’s the 1st real man’s cooking show that is not afraid to put some grease in some food. If you want low calorie, you better watch Bobby Flay. If you want deep fat fried and you wanna split your side laughing, then you'd better watch The Marvin Show.
The show is fast paced and is the only show on tv that cooks live from start to finish with all outtakes left in and if something gets burnt , it still makes it on the air. If he says a four letter word, it makes it on the air. The show gets rolling with Marvin giving the menu for the night and getting you caught up on the news. Some past dishes included the 10,000 calorie Luther Burger. If you wanna stop your heart quick and die happy, try this. A double bacon cheeseburger between 2 doughnuts. He then gives you a brand new drink or shot to try. Afterwards he cooks a couple quick dishes that are cooked in 25mns and for under $20. After the dish is done he has a guest up to taste the food and give an honest opinion.
Along the way he always has a wise crack and crazy banter from his sidekick , his “Hot camera Girl.” And how could we forget…The ebonic word of the night! If you ever wanted to know the meaning of some of the ghetto words you hear people say but was afraid to ask…we got you covered!!! It’s country, it’s ghetto, it’s cool, it’s hip, it’s hot, it’s THE MARVIN SHOW. The show has beat out every show it has come up against in North and South Carolina in the ratings... Now it's on TUFF TV!!!! Are you TUFF ENUFF to watch?! The first cooking show by a real man for REAL MEN.
