I am – Hercules!!
No, it’s NOT “On The Lot,” that Fox show Steven Spielberg is producing (the one that’s sort of a cross between “American Idol” and “Project Greenlight”). No no no. This is something else.
It’s “It’s Your Show,” and it’s a contest, but it wants to air the original videos you’ve already made, if they’re entertaining enough. Matt Engel, an enterprising production assistant and researcher on the show, offers details:
Hey there fellas - long time, first time, etc.
Let me get right to the point here: The production company I work for, Renegade 83 [The 4400, Blind Date], has a new project with NBC that will air this fall. Hosted by Carson Daly, it's called "It's Your Show" and will be an "America's Funniest Home Videos"-style show, but composed entirely of viral web videos and original video content sent in to the show! So I was hoping you guys could get the word out there on your site, so we can start to get videos sent in to us. Relax, there is a cash prize, in addition to the kind of exposure that's so hard to get these days! Each week we'll give away -- well, i can't say yet, but it's a lot. Then, at the end of the show, the viewers [through our web site on NBC.com] will vote on the best video of the whole season and that winner will get a HUGE cash prize. It's not a million, but still a pretty large amount.
Would you guys possibly be able to post a little thing about it? The web site is up at http://www.renegade83.com/itsyourshow.htm and the NBC.com online submission site is coming soon.
Thank you so much, and keep up the good work! AICN rocks.
