    Morgan Spurlock Career

    Spurlock was a playwright, before making the 2004 Academy Award-nominated Super Size Me, winning awards for his play The Phoenix at both the New York International Fringe Festival in 1999 and the Route 66 American Playwriting Competition in 2000.

    Spurlock was the creator of I Bet You Will for MTV. The show started as a public Internet webcast of five-minute episodes featuring ordinary people doing stunts in exchange for money.

    Some of the episodes featured eating a full jar of mayonnaise, eating a “worm burrito”, and taking shots of corn oil, Pepto-Bismol, lemon juice, hot sauce, cold chicken broth, and cod liver oil. The webcast got over a million hits in the first five days, and this was a great success. Later, MTV bought and aired the show, with Spurlock as the host.

    Spurlock was motivated by a number of documentary films that include Brother’s Keeper, Hoop Dreams, The Thin Blue Line, Roger and Me, Harlan County USA, and The Last Waltz. He considers Brother’s Keeper the greatest documentary of all time.

    Morgan Spurlock Super Size Me

    On May 7, 2004, Spurlock’s docudrama Super Size Me was released in the U.S. The docudrama was later nominated for an Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature.

    Spurlock came up with the concept for the film when he was at his parents’ house for Thanksgiving, and while watching television saw a news story about a lawsuit brought against McDonald’s by two teenage girls who blamed the fast-food chain for their obesity.

    The film delineates an experiment he conducted in 2003, in which he ate three McDonald’s meals a day every day, and nothing else, for 30 days. The name of the film is derived from one of the rules of Spurlock’s experiment: he would not refuse the “super-size” option whenever it was offered to him and would never ask for it himself.

    According to Spurlock, the result was a diet with twice the calories recommended by the USDA. He attempted to curtail his physical activity to better match the exercise habits of the average American.

    When Spurlock began the project, he was of above-average health and fitness and by the end, he gained 25 pounds, became quite puffy, and suffered liver dysfunction and depression.

    His supervising physicians noted the effects caused by his high-calorie diet once even comparing it to a case of severe binge alcoholism. The claims of his liver dysfunction being caused by eating solely McDonald’s food for 30 days have been questioned, following Spurlock’s December 2017 claim that he hadn’t been “sober for more than a week” in three decades.

    It took Spurlock fourteen months to return to his normal weight of 185 pounds (84 kg), after the completion of the project. His then-girlfriend, currently ex-wife, Alexandra Jamieson, took charge of his recovery with her “detox diet”, which became the basis for her book, The Great American Detox Diet.

    In 2017, Spurlock released a sequel film, Super Size Me 2: Holy Chicken!, to be distributed by YouTube Red, but was dropped since His admission of sensual assault.

    Morgan Spurlock Inside Man

    Morgan Inside Man which airs on CNN is an American documentary series. Its episodes feature Spurlock investigating a range of topics from an insider’s perspective. Documentary filmmaker Spurlock investigates topics of national interest using participatory journalism, in each one-hour episode.

    Some of the topics explored include marijuana, gun control, migrant farmworkers, and eldercare. Spurlock worked at a medical cannabis dispensary in Oakland, California, in the premiere episode. He used only Bitcoin as currency for a week, in a Season 3 episode.

    Morgan Spurlock Rats

    Rats also referred to as Rats NYC, is a 2016 American documentary horror film directed by Spurlock. The documentary is based on a book by Robert Sullivan and distributed by the Discovery Channel, the film chronicles rat infestations in major cities throughout the world.

    Morgan Spurlock 30 Days

    Every episode features a person or a group of people who spend 30 days immersing themselves in a mode of life markedly different from their norm, while Spurlock discusses the relevant social issues involved.

    The show started airing on FX on June 15, 2005. In “Minimum Wage,” the premiere episode of the first season, Spurlock and his fiancée lived for 30 days in the Bottoms neighborhood of Columbus, Ohio, earning minimum wage, with no access to outside funds.

    Spurlock spent 25 days locked in a Henrico County, Virginia jail in the second-season finale, to experience life as an inmate. Though he did not complete the entire 30 days in jail because the majority of inmates in the state of Virginia serve 85% of the sentence, so once Spurlock reached that benchmark, he was released from the prison.

    The third season of the show premiered on June 3, 2008. Its first episode, titled “Working in a Coal Mine,” was filmed in Bolt, West Virginia which is located roughly 18 miles from the city of Beckley, West Virginia, where Spurlock was raised before leaving for New York. FX announced in late 2008, it would not renew the 30 Days series, making the third season the last.
