Jim Biederman, the producer behind The Kids in the Hall, The Andy Dick Show, The Tom Green Show and The Whitest Kids U Know, is looking for a new comedy troupe he can mold into the next big thing. He's staging a contest through video sharing site Daily Motion, and you can get all the details here. Or, check out the video at the end of this post for an explanation, plus kittens playing with string.
Basically, if you have a comedy group, and you think you're funny enough for the big time, upload your videos and Mr. Biederman will watch and determine if you have what it takes to be part of his Great Sketch Comedy Showdown.
I wonder why Biederman chose to go with Daily Motion and not the more ubiquitous YouTube? I suppose it doesn't really matter, though I might have caught wind of this news sooner otherwise. Nevertheless, it's a cool idea and if it means giving some unknowns a chance at comedy stardom, I'm all for it.
