VIDEO – Why is MTV’s ‘Catfish’ TV show called Catfish?
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?
