Leesa Dean: Adventures of a Web Series Newbie 75
R.I.P. Joan
by Leesa Dean
I’ve been working towards a deadline and it’s been nuts (pulling 12-15 hour days) so this week will be short. I was going to postpone but instead decided to write a few words about Joan Rivers, who, unless you’ve been living under a rock and didn’t hear, recently died.
I don’t think there’s a female comedian today who’s not indebted to her. And while I’m not a stand-up, I do write comedy and her influence and the kind of material she did had a huge impact on me. The political incorrectness. The great snappy one-liners. The I give zero f*cks of it all. When she was on, as Chris Rock said, nobody could follow her.
I think the moment I really started paying attention was when she began doing red carpet (which, I guess, is a reflection of my age.)

Peer Production: EVERYONE’S FAMOUS
At last! A web comedy series that doesn’t just intend to be funny but actually is funny. Especially when it’s taking shots at itself. In other words, EVERYONE’S FAMOUS is about the wonderful interweb phenomenon where all of us believe fame in and of itself is a worthy life’s goal – made by people who are slogging away at achieving that very goal.
In other words – we love this:
Everyone’s Famous is a comedy web series created by Andrew Bush, Walter Forsyth and Angus Swantee.
