And so when YouTube and MySpace started, we had like 30 videos to dump on there.

And when we dumped that much content on it, they started featuring us on their homepage.

And so we started getting a lot of views back then.

Anyway, it turns out that NBC, what they were doing was they chose the top five winners on that, and they filmed a pilot for television hosted by Carson Daly.

Yeah.

It was the battle of sketch comedy, the best sketch comedy troupe.

And they took everyone's number one video and put it up against each other.

And the winner would get $100,000.

They shot this in a studio and everything.

We won.

Wow.

It never got picked up, but we still got paid.

And so from that, producers on that show introduced us to their agents.

That's how we got an agent.

And then we had a bunch of general meetings set up, and we were like, why don't we just go prepare now?

Because general meetings are such bullshit meetings.

And we just sat down one week before these general meetings and conceived of three ideas.

One of them was this show.

And we went with our cell phone cameras into Times Square and shot a few sample bits of it, cut it together, and brought that sizzle tape into the general meeting.

And we got offers that week from MTV and TruTV and sold that show in the room, which has, by the way, never happened before.
