For the first seven seasons of Catfish: The TV Show, Nev Schulman and Max Joseph served as hosts, but why did Max leave Catfish? The reality TV show focused on the infamous idea of catfishing, which is when someone pretends to be someone else online and tricks another person into a romance or suckers them out of money. The series itself was based on the 2010 film Catfish, which tells Nev Schulman's experience of being catfished by a woman he met on Facebook. 143c2t

Catfishmight not be the highly-ranked MTV reality series that it once was, but the online mystery show has nevertheless contributed some amazing things to popular culture, and these are the best Catfish episodes, ranked. From memorable memes, hilarious , and even the usage of the word 'catfish' itself, it's safe to say that Catfish has changed popular culture in many ways since it first premiered in 2012.

The series' premise alone means it's built for drama, but the wildest Catfishepisodes contain some twists that stand head and shoulders above the rest. Nev Schulman had no idea that his 2010 independent documentary Catfish would become a critical and commercial success, coining a term for something rarely talked about but was increasing within the general population thanks to the internet. Strangers tricking unwitting victims on the internet into emotional relationships was becoming a more common phenomenon as technology progressed. Schulman was the first to bring the problem out into the open.

More than many other reality series about online dating, MTV's Catfish has stood the test of time. Since 2012, the show has featured hundreds of cases of hopefuls looking for love online and ultimately turning to the series' hosts for help in their times of need. For much of the series' run, Catfish was hosted by filmmakers Nev Schulman and Max Joseph.

Some might find it surprising that the host of the popular MTV reality show Catfish would be in a committed relationship, but star Nev Schulman is indeed married to Laura Perlongo and has two kids with her. Right now, they are expecting baby number three. Much like the stories on Catfish, Nev and Laura's relationship has had its share of ups and downs. From break-ups to babies, keep reading for all the details of their wild journey.

Although Catfish star Nev Schulman spends most of his time helping others to work out their relationship dramas on the show, he has his own family, and we're going to share information about his wife and kids today. Fortunately, Nev hasn't had to use his catfish detection skills to the authenticity of his wife and children. From meeting his wife online to expecting another child, he's enjoyed building a beautiful family.

While there are several reality shows about dating, MTV's Catfish stands out from the crowd, and many episodes have been entertaining and engrossing. Nev Schulman and Max Joseph hosted together until Max left in season 7, and their friendship shined through even the most stressful situations. They genuinely wanted people to fall in love and viewers also hoped for real love stories, although that didn't often happen.

After the documentary Catfish was released in 2010 and the MTV reality series started airing, everyone was used to the idea of someone lying about their identity while chatting with a potential love interest online. Even though most of the relationships don't work out, the show is still exciting and entertaining to watch.
