Making His Band
During the Making the Band 4 finale, Diddy said he would be coming out with another reality show looking for another girl group that could "hopefully stay together". He also stated that he was searching for musicians for a Making the Band spinoff titled Making His Band, where he would be searching for guitarists, drummers, backup singers, etc. to form his own personal live band. This new season premiered on July 27, 2009.
On September 2, 2009, this series was placed on hiatus. On September 12, 2009, the show returned and aired the last five episodes on a new Saturday time slot. Reasoning for this included a delay in Diddy's album release date as well as generally low ratings overall for the program.
In 2010, Making His Band was nominated for a GLAAD Media Award for "Outstanding Reality Program" during the 21st GLAAD Media Awards.

Famous quotes containing the words making and/or band:
“Educators are aware that they can reach the youth only by making use of gang spirit and guiding it, not by working against it.”
—Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)
“What passes for identity in America is a series of myths about one’s heroic ancestors. It’s astounding to me, for example, that so many people really seem to believe that the country was founded by a band of heroes who wanted to be free. That happens not to be true. What happened was that some people left Europe because they couldn’t stay there any longer and had to go someplace else to make it. They were hungry, they were poor, they were convicts.”
—James Baldwin (1924–1987)
