It premiered on July 14, 2008 as a six-week trial in Detroit, Dallas, Los Angeles, and New York City. After the test run, the show was picked up for a full season,[3] and has since been renewed through the 2016–17 television season.[4][5]
In early 2008, the Fox Broadcasting Company picked up rights to the show and BET picked up the show in early 2009.[6]
The show was initially taped at the Chelsea Studios in New York City and at 433 West 53rd Street. Season 4 marked the return of the show being taped in the Chelsea Studios.[7]
The show had its debut outside the United States on BET International in July 2010.[8]
