Damage Control is a reality TV series produced by MTV. Hosted by Simple Plan frontman Pierre Bouvier, and directed by Sebastian Doggart, the show was a real-life version of Risky Business. It first aired on MTV on March 6, 2005.
On Damage Control, parents tell their teenage son or daughter that they're going away for the weekend. What the child doesn't know, they actually hide out with Bouvier a short distance from their home. Using secret cameras and an insider friend of the teenager, the parents and Bouvier watch every move the teen makes. Parents win money by correctly predicting the next action their child will take. At the end of the weekend, the parents return to the house. The teen can then win money by confessing to their parents about the events that took place. Eventually, Bouvier appears on the set to save the day, and reveals what actually went on - to "do some damage control", as he says.
An almost identical series, Animal House, aired on British TV in 2004.
