Show,” on VH1. He is also the co-host of the podcast “Getcha Popcorn Ready with T.O. & Hatch” alongside former NFL receiver Matthew Hatchette.
T.O. additionally manages multiple brands as an entrepreneur, including Prototype 81, a lifestyle and apparel company, craft candle company Loft81 and skin care product MeSkinCare made for the unique needs of men and the skin of people of color.
