HEY! That's not Wolf Blitzer!
Actor/author/director/satirist/musician/radio host Harry Shearer's
found footage of the CNN team prepping for the Florida Republican Debate using civilians as stand-ins for the candidates might be the best thing to happen to the GOP Debate since
Michele Bachmann took the longest pee break ever.
Newt Gingrich is looking decidedly more feminine since the last time we saw him. When the petite redheaded woman introduces herself as "Newt Gingrich" and proclaims "I just ran a marathon before I got here," Fake Wolf Blitzer chuckles and her fellow faux candidates smile.
Could they possibly find her more charming than the real thing?
Hey GOP Candidates, relax a little! Slip into something more comfortable! Let your hair down!
That's more like it. Now how about we whistle the National Anthem?

Ah, September. You went by so fast. How can it be the end of you already? We're still debating whether or not it's okay to wear white and now you want us to start thinking about Halloween costumes? Sigh.
In honor of the end of September and
a certain song by Green Day that has been stuck in our heads all day, we present images of My Damn Channel stars sleeping so that we can tell them to
"WAKE UP!" just like the song asks us to.
Wake up, Daily Grace! It's the end of September!
Wake up, Kristen Schaal! It's the end of September!
Wake up, Gigi! It's the end of September!
So we hope you're awake now."Waking you up when September ends" was kind of a weird request, right? Pretty arbitrary. We mean, if you're going to hibernate, why not just wake up in March? Whatever. We're your friends so we'll play alarm clock for you but just this once. Unless you pay us or something. Then we'd probably do it more.
Wednesday & Thursday, Nov. 18-19, TV and digital media honchos will gather in NYC for the Future of Television Forum, hosted by Digital Media Wire, with the Consumer Electronics Association and NYU's Stern School of Business
Over 300 guests are scheduled to speak - including Rob Barnett, Founder/CEO of MyDamnChannel, on the "Future of Online Video" (cue the music!). The panel will be moderated by Simon Applebaum, Producer/Host of Tomorrow Will Be Televised, and fellow panelizers include: Itzik Cohen (ClipSync), Dina Kaplan (Blip.tv), Erik Hachenburg (Metacafe), Ronald London (Davis Wright Tremaine LLP).
The conference promises live debate on timely cutting-edge business topics surrounding the future of the television industry, such as maximizing digital opportunities through transmedia, online video,
VOD, mobile, iTV, metadata, game consoles and more.
Sounds fiesty! Click HERE for more. See you there.
Halloween marked the season 2 finale of YOU SUCK AT PHOTOSHOP.
Over 400,000 views so far - close to 1000 comments webwide debating the appearance of Dane Cook, whether Donnie is Dane, if both are dead, what David Cross has to do with the whole thing, and if YSAP is really gone (again?).
Feels like months since 10/31: we elected OBAMA - the economy turned the clocks back to 1933 - and Jetsons' flying cars still seem another thousand years away.
Fear not: the creators of YSAP open up a new chapter in the wonderful "WORLD of WEBNDER"

Getting laid off stings like hell. "I've got the scars to prove it & I'm no Miss Congeniality."
The last time I got 'job eliminated' led to the creation of My Damn Channel. We pulled together a small band of like-minded souls determined to build a mass media machine - outside the old system.
Over 150 actors, comedians, filmmakers, musicians and our tiny staff of 10 have produced over 400 videos to date. We're closing in on 40 million total views.
Once big audience came - sponsors signed up - and soon after Turkey Day, we'll be announcing our new VP of Advertising, Partnerships & Strategy.
Enough about us - more about you.
If you're laid off, downsized, job eliminated, fired, creative...and filled with angst, energy & a video camera.....we're open to your ideas about how to build a My Damn Channel for you. We're pursuing sponsors now to pay you to create/vent/entertain/communicate.

Judith Owen IS Sarah Palin in a new My Damn Channel video from Harry Shearer and produced by the great Karen Murphy. "Bridge to Nowhere" is Harry's latest campaign '08 composition.
Here's an emailable link:

Judith just played two, sold-out shows at NY's Metropolitan Room. I've lost count of the number of friends I've turned onto this amazing angel.
She's touring all month. Check concert dates, see & hear more music, & get Judith's new album, Mopping Up Karma at www.JudithOwen.net
Here's one of the videos we filmed to launch the album in LA: "Let's Hear It For Love."

Tom Waits. Lesser world without him.
Click on his head and enjoy a music video you'd never see on the MTV. In the last century, we were shooting the pilot for ROTTEN TV. One of the early ideas was to get Johnny Rotten to 'review' music videos for his new teleee-vision show. We debated war strategies late one night and stumbled onto the idea that everyone would expect John to HATE every video. Too simple. John decided it was a good idea to actually LIKE at least ONE music video. Tom Waits was the winner.

Fresh off last night's Obama and Hillary heavyweight bout another My Damn Channel Silent Debate. In a selfless act of journalistic fairness, Harry Shearer steps aside to let Brit Hume from Fox moderate...and have a little lunch:

Presidential 08 Comedy is a small category that includes black belts like Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert, & Bill Maher. These men have crafted a set of skills to allow the 'nation' to take a better look at itself and our leaders.We launched My Damn Channel by adding another skilled craftsman to this category. Harry Shearer has a resume as long as his.....well, let's just say Harry makes humans think and laugh in every medium: radio, television, films, cds, dvds, books, blogs, and live appearances.
We signed Harry because we wanted to join the conversation about the 08 race for the White House. He hits the web every week with original videos produced for MyDamnChannel.com. And today, he does this...silently:
