3. Mark Hoppus And Travis Barker Had Their Own TV Shows
Although both shows were extremely short-lived, Mark Hoppus and Travis Barker have tried their hands at cracking the TV market.
Barker capitalised on the hype surrounding The Osbourne's family based reality TV show and started up Meet the Barkers to showcase his family. The show lasted for two seasons and followed the lives of Barker, his then wife Shanna Moakler, his step-daughter Atiana De La Hoya and the couple’s children Landon and Alabama Barker. Meet the Barkers captured a point in the newlywed's lives where they were adjusting to parenthood and raising three children, whilst remaining party animals caught up in the celebrity system.
In a very different vein, Hoppus began starring in his own talk show, Hoppus on Music, alongside co-host and up-and-coming comedienne, Amy Schumer.
Hoppus on Music featured a panel of musicians and industry professionals who would discuss music and the latest news within the world before ending on a performance. in fitting with Hoppus' style, the show had a comedic twist and featured some of the biggest names in music from My Chemical Romance to Bruno Mars.
Unfortunately, neither show became a hit, but it would be great to have a show like Meet the Barkers back.
