About Morgan Spurlock
Spurlocks first significant foray into TV was the TV series, "I Bet You
Will" in which members of the public were paid money to do
disgusting/embarrassing stunts on camera - it started as a webcast and moved to
TV in 2002. His most recent production was "30 Days", in which a person
spends 30 days immersing him/herself in a markedly different way of life to
their own (it ran for one 6-part series in 2005, and it's not clear if there
will be future series). I believe his latest project is a series called
"Public Nuisance with Morgan Spurlock", in conjunction with Comedy Central.
He lives with his fiancée, Alexandra Jamieson, whose dietary guidance helped him
lose the 30 lbs he'd gained eating McDonalds in just 2 months - and led
her to publish The Great American Detox Diet : 8 Weeks to Weight Loss and
Well-Being (2005).
