Old Tv programme

Does any one remember a few years ago there was a TV programme called (i think) "your money or your life". I can't remember the blokes name who was the presenter but i think he was american :think: . I used to really enjoy it and I wish they'd bring it back.
I used to enjoy Spendaholics but they're all the same now and some of their advice is a bit dodgy i think. The "bank of mum and dad" is a bit better i think.
What was that blokes name? I wonder what he's doing now.
Trouble is I used to watch him before i had my lightbulb moment so I just thought "Oh that advice doesn't apply to me". Well actually it does :o and I'd quite like to watch them all again!!

    There was an american black man who gave advice on programmes I am sure his name was Marvin or something he was really positive and funny but had some good points.
