MTV Cribs

MTV Cribs is a television program that originally aired on MTV from September 2000 to 2009, and has since been revived in various formats. The show features tours of the private homes of celebrities, typically athletes, musicians, and actors.

The premise of the show involves celebrities acting as tour guides through their residences, showcasing various rooms, personal items, and amenities. The tours are usually informal and often emphasize extravagant or unusual features of the property, such as swimming pools, home theaters, recording studios, custom cars, and extensive wardrobes. Celebrities often provide anecdotes and personal stories related to their possessions and their homes.

"Cribs" became a cultural phenomenon, popularizing the term "crib" as a slang term for "home" or "residence." The show offered viewers a glimpse into the lavish lifestyles of the wealthy and famous, contributing to the widespread fascination with celebrity culture.

The original run of MTV Cribs concluded in 2009, but the show has been rebooted in various forms on different platforms, including MTV's international channels and online streaming services. These later iterations often feature celebrities from different regions and entertainment fields, adapting to changing trends in popular culture. The essence of the format, however, remains largely the same: providing viewers with a voyeuristic look inside the homes of the rich and famous.
