Wake Up Call is an American reality television series hosted by Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson that premiered on December 12, 2014, on TNT at 9/8c.[2]

Premise

Opening introduction: (narrated by Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson):

“ Life is anything but predictable. By the time I was 23 years old, I had multiple arrests. My family was evicted. My dream of being a pro football player was shattered. I had 7 bucks in my pocket. That's when I made a choice. I rebuilt myself, and I started over. This show is about real people picking themselves up and saying, "I can do better." The people I'll be helping--everyday Americans down on their luck. If you're willing to meet me halfway and challenge yourself...you've got the power to change your life. It's time to make a choice. It's time to take a stand. It's time for your wake up call. ”
