SHECKYmagazine.com quoted in USAToday…

by Brian McKim & Traci Skene on March 22nd, 2006

…again!

We’re fielding so many media inquiries that we weren’t even aware of the hit we got in today’s USAToday.

…others are finding stardom through the Web. “In the past, comics had to depend on managers, agents and media conglomerates to get the attention of those who had the power to rocket them to stardom” says Brian McKim of sheckymagazine.com. “The Internet is really turning things upside down.”

We vaguely remember speaking on the phone with Gary Strauss a coupla weeks back. A lot has happened in the interim (personally and professionally!), so we can be forgiven if our memory of this particular MSM encounter got fuzzed out.

The above quote was all that survived from a 15-minute teleconference. Still, a hit in USAToday is a hit in USAToday! (We suspect it might be only featured in the online version of the paper. We’ll hunt one down tomorrow. We were hipped to it by a sharp-eyed reader!) Welcome McPaper readers! And, check out our new short film, “A Man And A Woman!” by clicking here.

The article is a good one, though. Check out this nugget from David Steinberg:

“With a TV sitcom, you get where the audience is. With the Internet, you might be playing to an audience of one,” says comedian/director David Steinberg, the host of TV Land’s Sit Down Comedy with David Steinberg (Wednesdays, 10 p.m. ET/PT). “There’s more excitement over how many times Sit Down is downloaded to iPods than ratings. It’s strange. You sort of make up a theory as you go. It’s like trying to hold mercury in your hand. It’s changing all the time”
