Reinventing Television #5: Mark Lesser, Chief Joke Officer of thejokeproject.com
This week’s guest, Marc Lesser, is on the front lines of reinventing television with his independent videoblog, The Joke Project. What’s is it like to produce a daily online video documentary about what is perhaps the oldest storytelling form, the joke? The Joke Project is starting to get approached by various media outlets to license its gut busting content. What are the possibilities and pitfalls in trying to get a funny video project to provide its creators with a serious revenue stream? This is your chance to find out answers to these questions, and many more as you help me pick the brain of this up and coming media mogul. As usual, you the audience will be able to text chat questions and participate in our open phones segment.
In addition to his work on The Joke Project, Mark is a producer-editor at NBC Digital Studios. Hope to see you at this bellylaugh-o-ricious installment of Reinventing Television.

Live talk with Iraq Vloggers on web Thurs, Oct 26.
(Photo Credit: Alive in Baghdad)
I am thrilled to have Brian Conley and Omar Abdullah of the groundbreaking videoblog, Alive in Baghdad booked as guests on Reinventing Television tonight, Thursday, October 26 at 7PM Pacific (10PM Eastern).
Alive in Baghdad was formed to counter the sound-bite driven, ‘Live From’ news model. Through the work of a team of Americans and Iraqi correspondents on the ground, Alive in Baghdad shows the occupation through the voices of Iraqis. Alive in Baghdad brings testimonies from individual Iraqis, footage of daily life in Iraq, and short news segments from Iraq to you.
Omar will be with us by phone, assuming he can get through from Baghdad, which is, as you can imagine, a bit iffy. I am keeping my fingers crossed. Either way, Brian will be with us, so we’ll have plenty to talk about.
As a special bonus, we’ll have a appearance from Irina Slutsky (of Geek Entertainment TV and Podtech) who will give us an upddate on the Vloggies.
As always, you will be able to ask our guests questions and make your voice heard through text chat and the open phone segment. You do not want to miss this episode.
When: 7PM Pacific (10PM Eastern), Thursday, October 26.
