Celebrity Rehab - Bob Forrest & John Irwin

Exec/Producer With Noah Pollack

This episode is dear to my heart because we're covering CELEBRITY REHAB WITH DR. DREW, a show which I oversaw during my time at VH1. Produced by my close friend, John Irwin, CELEBRITY REHAB was an monumental team effort which translated into countless saved lives, in addition to multiple seasons, spin-offs and ratings success.

Much of the soul of this series can be attributed to the efforts of our second guest, Dr. Drew's right hand man, Bob Forrest. A recovering addict himself, Bob lived a life as a rock star during the peak of the LA music scene in the 1980's and 90's before achieving sobriety and dedicating his life to helping others in need both on TV and in the real world.

CELEBRITY REHAB is a shining example of how a show can both help AND entertain and I'm thrilled to present to you the story of how it came to be. Enjoy!
