As Seen On TV

Hey. I know I promised a blog about the orbs in my last mural post, (for those 2 or 3 of you who've been reading these blog posts) but I wanted to post this TV pilot I hosted for my good friend Phil Armand (please check out his website). This show was created summer 2008.

Phil created this idea to enter into the New York TV pilot festival, and got some good responses from those who saw it, but unfortunately it didn't get anywhere. This hopefully will be the closest I'll get to selling my soul, in terms of content--the show is about me testing products advertised on television. I think Phil did a nice job putting the show together, it looks pretty good, moves smoothly, and there are some funny things in there. One thing of potential interest: aside from the voice-over narration, everything you see here is completely improvised. Enjoy:




Also for your perusal, I found the Net 10 commercial I made with Phil this past winter 2008:

the Lost Episode of Mediocre New York

This was the first episode of Mediocre New York I hosted. I actually look like I bathed before the shoot, and if you check out the other episodes I host, you'll see how I eventually look like a homeless man who stole a broken microphone from a low budget TV show. Never to be out-mediocred....

Laydeez and Gentlemens, I give you... the New York Inn:


Also, here's a link to my "about the host" page on the MNY website. I thought it was kind of funny.

Battle of the Band

Hey Folks. How are ya? I'm blogtastic.

A few years ago I co-starred in a television pilot called Battle of the Band, created by the team of Phil Armand and Rob Albrecht. Its a funny show about
4 idiots trying to live the punk rock dream in NYC. The script is completely improvised, though the story was plotted out by Rob and Phil before-hand.

Darwin, lead singer and activist, at the height of his powers, stickin' it to the man.

This is the short version of the show, about 21 minutes. There is a longer version that I prefer more if only cause there's more jokes in there and the actors are great improvisers--maybe someday we'll get that version up on the intre-nets.

Anyway, dig it, won't you? I play Darwin, the lead singer, by the way.
