History




The show, created by Bobby Goldstein, an attorney in Dallas Texas, made its debut in 2000. Until early 2003, the show was hosted by one of its co-producers, Tommy Habeeb, who used the screen name Tommy Grand. Habeeb left the show due to a dispute with the production company.[citation needed] Later, Habeeb settled the dispute out of court[citation needed] and now hosts Pay-per-view specials of raw Cheaters footage under a different name and often nudity plays a part.[2]
2004 brought syndication reruns of previous seasons, edited into a half-hour Monday-through-Friday strip format with new intros with Joey Greco as host. In 2006, G4 began showing the strip version with faster-paced editing and music due to complaints that the show seemed boring and contrived[citation needed], as well as a different voiceover artist, for weekly airings on its Midnight Spank block.[3]
The sexual encounters captured by the Cheaters' hidden cameras are usually displayed with heavy editing and verbal censorship in the broadcast version. Home video releases of several episodes, however, include uncensored footage. Cheaters is the backbone for other Bobby Goldstein ventures. Goldstein and Cheaters started a dating site called NO Cheaters Date (nocheatersdate.com).
In an interview on Court News TV.com Goldstein says, he got into law to escape the milk business. The grandson of dairy magnate Harmon Schepps, he says he also attended Baylor Law School.
