Who is Christopher LaVoie? Man behind ‘4 Days’ reality shows has history of run-ins with police, dubious business ventures
In 2002, LaVoie produced and starred in a reality television series called “4 Days in May.”
It was a precursor to the first annual Miss USA Pageant that LaVoie created in 2012, “The Most Beautiful Girl in the World,” which has aired in partnership with E!.
In its first season, the show received mixed reviews from critics, but it led to numerous appearances on talk shows on CNN and The Weather Channel.
