Broke & Famous aired on VH1 in 2009 and aimed to showcase the glamorous lifestyles of various celebrities and how they lost it all through poor decisions and mismanagement of their finances. Throughout the series, viewers were taken behind the scenes of the lives of these former stars, from their rise to fame to their current struggles to make ends meet.

The show was hosted by two former celebrities themselves, MC Hammer and Corey Feldman, who had both experienced financial issues in the past. Each episode focused on one celebrity and delved into their personal story of how they went from being wealthy and famous to bankrupt.

Among the celebrities featured on Broke & Famous were MC Hammer himself, Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt from "The Hills," former heavyweight champion boxer Evander Holyfield, and "Growing Pains" actor Willie Aames. Each episode followed the same structure, with interviews with the celebrity themselves, as well as interviews with friends, family members, and financial advisors.
