Catfish star Nev Schulman revealed in January of 2013 that he is dating singer/songwriter Shanee Pink after one of her songs was featured on the show, and now it appears that Nev has decided to take the plunge — literally — by starring (and swimming) in Shanee’s music video for her new single, “Spreading In The Light.”

Catfish‘s Nev Schulman calls his lower-back tattoo a “champ stamp,” but it isn’t a term of endearment. Instead, the filmmaker said he regrets the ink every day.
Nev had injured his foot working out and was on crutches, but he still had to spring to action and prevent a fight at the conclusion of this week’s Catfish. It was a usual Catfish scenario in that there were too many red-flags to mention, but what was really going on was completely unexpected and unprecedented on the show.
With his documentary film and MTV television show Nev Schulman and his production teams have shone a light on a new problem for our technologically advanced age: “Catfishing,” or entering into a romantic relationship with someone online while pretending to be someone that you’re not. If you’re chatting with someone online, there’s a simple solution to see if they’re who they say they are. If you absolutely cannot meet up with them, you can video chat. This capability wasn’t as widely available a few years ago, but now that webcams and cellphone cams are so prevalent, it’s no longer an excuse. If your online professional crush says they can’t afford any sort of camera on their model salary, they probably know someone who does and would let them use it for a few minutes. Getting Catfished is so easy to avoid, and even more so now that the TV show Catfish is so popular, probably making many people face the truths of their online relationships that they’ve been trying to avoid. So why does Catfishing still happen?
Max Joseph is the funny, realist behind the “Catfish” camera. He is also pretty elusive with details on his personal life. We managed to pin down his relationship status and learn more about his Brazilian wife…
Get your rod, reel and tackle ready. Season 2 of MTV’s critically acclaimed show Catfish is premiering tonight and they’ve provided us a 10 minute preview as if we weren’t amped enough already. In addition, this preview provided us enough clues to do our own Schulmanhunting and we’ve discovered the full identity of Episode 1’s Cassie. Even though her social media provides serious clues to what happened we kept that out of this post. But still, this is chock full o’ spoilage so stay away if ya wanna go into tonight’s premiere without the knowledge of who Cassie is and the links to her Twitter, Facebook and YouTube accounts!
MTV announced last week that Nev Schulman and Max Joseph would be returning from their most recent “boating” trip with a whole new mess of catfish on June 25. Today the network released the first official trailer for Catfish: The TV Show Season 2, and it looks like the second season may even be better than the first!
MTV announced back in December that their hugely popular reality series Catfish: The TV Show would be returning for a second season and since that time the hairy-chested Nev Schulman and sidekick Max Joseph have been hard at work baiting their hooks and reeling in an all new mess of catfish! And by “mess” of catfish I mean 16, as MTV announced last week that Catfish Season 2 will feature 16 episodes and will premiere on Tuesday, June 25 at 10:00 p.m. ET/PT! Keep reading for the full press release that includes details about the “Hooked on Catfish: The Road to Season Two” special to air prior to the Season 2 premiere.

MTV’s new reality series Catfish is getting a great deal of exposure thanks to Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te’o’s headline-grabbing relationship with girlfriend (aka a “catfish”) Lennay Kekua, who later turned out to be a hoax perpetrated by Ronaiah Tuiasosopo and his cousin Tino Tuiasosopo. The popular show (which has already been renewed for a second season) was also the focus of a Saturday Night Live skit last night in which The Voice‘s Adam Levine played Catfish host Nev Schulman in a hilarious spoof!
In the wake of Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te’o’s incredulous story, MTV’s Catfish is getting some serious exposure. Find out what co-creators Nev Schulman and Max Joseph had to say about the explosive new interest in “catfishing” and how all of this could result in a serious ratings spike for the already well-received show.
Most fans who fell in love with Catfish the movie were a little bit wary when it was announced MTV would be taking the concept and turning it into weekly show. (It could be said we didn’t want to be too optimistic about the show until we met it in person, in case it turned out to be a catfish itself!) Well, the series is six episodes in and I don’t know about you, but I know about me and the other 2+ million folks who are tuning in each week — we’re addicted! Of course, MTV is well aware that viewers have taken to the show, and they announced earlier this week they will be bringing back Yaniv “Nev” Schulman and Max Joseph for a Catfish Season 2!
In 2010 Catfish, a documentary film called by Nev Schulman, became all the rage because of it’s skillful presentation of Nev’s journey to find the woman he thought he had fallen in love with on Facebook. Not only was he excited to see this woman, Megan, who he had feelings for, but he’d gotten to know a lot about her family, especially Megan’s younger sister Abbey, who is a painting prodigy.
Now there’s an MTV show based on the same principle, but what does “Catfish” mean? What is the origina of the term?
