'Mad Money' brings the bull market to BC Sept. 20.

Jim Cramer, the zany investment analyst and markets commentator whose nightly show on CNBC has become a cable television icon, will videotape his "Mad Money" show at Boston College on Wednesday, Sept. 20. The taping will be in Conte forum at 4 p.m. The show is broadcast three times each night on CNBC at 6 and 9 p.m. and midnight EDT.

Jim Cramer and "Mad Money" come to Conte Forum Sept. 20

Admission to the videotaping of the show is free, but tickets must be obtained in advance. Tickets will be distributed from 11 a.m. until 2 p.m. on Sept. 6 in the foyer of Corcoran Commons, and on Sept. 7 in the lobby of Fulton Hall.

Tickets are also available by e-mailing madmoneyoncampus@cnbc.com.

Cramer believes that there is always a bull market somewhere and wants to help his viewers find it. In addition to his own predictions of money-making investments ‚ each prognostication delivered in his fiery and opinionated style ‚ Cramer also includes audience participation and guest interviews in the show's format.

Starting last year, Cramer has brought his "Mad Money" show to selected college campuses. "I am very excited to be coming back to Boston to kick off the second season of the 'Back to School' tour at Boston College," said Cramer, a graduate of Harvard College and Harvard Law School and a former Wall Street investment manager.

"One of my key objectives is to teach viewers how to properly invest in the stock market and by traveling to colleges ‚ like Boston College ‚ I can reach interested students and get them excited at an early age about the world of investing," he says.

Last year, "Mad Money" shows were taped at Harvard Business School, the University of Michigan and Columbia University. The visit to Boston College is the show's first campus appearance this academic year.

In addition to his "Mad Money" television show and frequent appearances on NBC's "Today Show", Cramer is markets commentator for TheStreet.com, a multimedia provider of financial commentary, analysis and news; the host of a nationally-syndicated radio program on the CBS Radio Network; and writes the popular "Bottom Line" column for New York magazine.

Cramer is the author of three best-selling books on investing: Confessions of a Street Addict, You Got Screwed, and Jim Cramer's RealMoney.
