To advertise for the special, here’s a more responsible version of “Cribs” with Seth Green:
He’s a nut! You know ‘genuine velour’ is what’s hot in the streets home decor! LOL! This ABC special is expected to make people laugh while they learn about basic personal finance. I bet Will and Ceddie are gonna cut the fool with a little 411, so I definitely plan watch.

I don’t have DVR yet and that’s my birthday – I’ll have to get someone to tape that for me. It looks like it will be hilarious and very informative.
‘where my hose at?’ hope ABC puts it on their website.
This looks like a lot of fun. I will have to catch it on Friday. Thanks for the information.
Interesting…..
I can’t wait for this. I think it’s going to be hilarious and entertaining at the same time.
I’ve watched that clip 4 times now! the seriousness with which he lists his car’s attributes makes me giggle out loud – and the hose, OMG TOO FUNNY. Will definitely watch.
Thanks for the information…now I just need to remember to set my DVR.
I love Will Smith. I’ll definitely check this out, and also to see how much these celebs really know about finance.
I missed it and the link on ABC.com has expired. ABC needs to bring this back ASAP.
