Hold The Phone, JT is a Producer?

It's no secret MTV has really strayed away from anything having to do with music in the past, well, decade (does anyone know why it's still called Music Television?), but they hit a new low last night when they let Justin Timberlake take the reins. A Justin Timberlake music video? JT live in concert? No. They actually let him produce a reality/game show called, "The Phone" and quite frankly, it's the most ridiculous thing I have ever seen. Basically, it's a scary scavenger hunt to prevent Seattle from being fake blown up with the end prize being $50,000. There are two teams (two people on each team) which follow orders given by "the operator" via cell phone. The show started out with a car exploding in a public place (how'd they pull that off?) and one contestant crawling around Seattle's Space Needle looking for clues. I'm not going to lie, it was pretty amusing to watch the contestants act like they were actually saving Seattle from being blown up. Anyone else watch this joke of a TV show?
