Carson Daly Productions? WTF?!



Portrait of the Punk Ass as a Young Man. (image via forbes)

Grated, we worry about the bleak future of tv comedy writers -- reality tv, the rise of teledramas -- especially as we would love to do that one day. New opportunities for sitcom writers are to be praised. That having been said, we read this from Paidcontent with abject horror:

"�Crazed fan� Brooke Brodack harnesses the power of YouTube: Carson Daly Productions signed Brodack to an 18-month overall programming development deal�it�s believed to be the first time a recognized Hollywood firm has established formal ties with one of the homegrown (and mostly young) talents on YouTube."

While we congratulate Ms. Brodack (Exaggerated cough suggesting feigned detachment), we cannot fail to note that if a talent-challenged manorexic lik Carson Daly has his own vanity tv production house, there is something vaguely insidious about the state of the entertainment businbess.

"Insidious" is not the word for it! Yikes, what has the world come to?
