My Damn Channel Goes Live on YouTube
YouTube's original channel rollout is getting some live comedy, thanks to a live daily series created by entertainment studio and distributor My Damn Channel. Called My Damn Channel Live, the show will adopt a late-night TV talk show format. Viewers can catch it weekdays at 4PM ET starting Wednesday, March 28, either on My Damn Channel's site or YouTube channel.
Hosting the live show will be comedian Beth Hoyt, who will interview celebs, interact with the online viewing audience, and show clips from over 30 new My Damn Channel originals. The show will shoot at a studio in New York City's Hell's Kitchen neighborhood. Rob Barnett, My Damn Channel's founder and CEO, is executive producing the live show.
"The time is right to steal pages from TV's playbook to reimagine a daily, live, hosted comedy show for the Internet," says Barnett. "Beth Hoyt is an awesome find and a future star. Our producer, Melissa Schneider, has built an impressive team and a hot new home to showcase the original content and comedy talent we love."
My Damn Channel will introduce the 30-plus new shows that it's creating for the rollout within the next few weeks.
