Twitter
GoogleCountry superstar (and actor!) Tim McGraw was the featured celebrity on Friday's (Feb. 11) episode of "Who Do You Think You Are?" on NBC. Over the course of the episode, McGraw researches his father's ancestry and discovers that he is descended from some of the first settlers of the United States and also has a connection to George Washington.
"Who Do You Think You Are" is in its second season, brought back after a well-received first season in 2010. The 2011 lineup includes Gwyneth Paltrow, McGraw, Rosie O'Donnell, Steve Buscemi, Kim Cattrall, Lionel Richie, Vanessa Williams and Ashley Judd.
Did you watch the episode? What did you think? We think the show's basis is fascinating and would love to be able to do that kind of research for ourselves. It also just tickles us that the executive producer is Phoebe from "Friends" (Lisa Kudrow).

Why did Tim McGraw not tell us why his Father was not in his life?
I didn't know NBC was even still on the air.
"Who Do You Think You Are?" has easily become my favorite reality-based television show. ("The Amazing Race" still rules as best reality competition.) It's interesting watching history being discovered through someone's family and, in many cases, you never know what surprises may be found. And on a purely superficial note, does it need to be said that Tim McGraw is one of the sexiest guys on the planet? :)
