“I am so excited for people to see this hilarious new season. These episodes are bigger, more absurd, and more emotional than before. Unfortunately, so is our nation’s student debt crisis,” said Torpey. “I’m incredibly grateful to our contestants for sharing their stories and helping us destigmatize student debt. And I’m thrilled to introduce another way to help even more people with our new live segment, where people at home can play to win cash to put towards their debt.”
Premiering last summer, Paid Off with Michael Torpey raises awareness to the student loan crisis will offering contestants a chance to pay their loans off. Over the course of the first season, the show paid more than $1,000,000 in prize money, with season two looking for more ways to give through a Live Lightning Round that will allow viewers the chance to win up to $3000 in cash and prizes.
The series will also have themed episodes during this upcoming run, including “It Started with a Tweet” for fans with student loan debt who asked to be on the show via social media; “Do Gooders” which features contestants working in the non-profit arena; “Too Broke To Wed” which highlights contestants whose debt is preventing them from marriage; “Back in the Nest” for those who were forced to move home because of their crushing student debt payments; and “Made in America” for first-generation Americans who are saddled with this debt.
