Randy & Jason Sklar are the stars and Exec Producers of the Emmy-nominated "Back on Topps" on My Damn Channel. It's the best sports comedy series in the history of the interweb.
The Sklar Brothers are in town for weekend live shows at Comix in NY. Two more shows tonite. Be there. Info here.
They hit the My Damn Channel NY offices yesterday for interviews with Grace that you'll start seeing next week & throughout the race to the cliffhanger of Season 2.
We're now officially in awe of these two men. They're funny as hell. You'll witness their death-defying comedy on our rooftop on video next week.....or defy death by coughing up lungs and other organs LIVE with Jason & Randy TONIGHT.
Thanks to our friends at Vuguru - especially Ryan Barlow for letting us in on da fun. To Michelle Vargas for being beyond. To Charlie Singer! And to our DAMN intern, Duncan Moore for the headzuppedness!
We hate when people make announcements and always say they're "thrilled."
We're PSYCHED to announce the Season 2 premiere of "Back on Topps."

Our fave sports comedy series stars The Sklar Brothers, Randy and Jason as Leyland and Leif Topps, heirs to the Topps Trading Cards fortune until their uncle sold the company to Michael Eisner.
The series is directed by one of our favorite humans, Michael Blieden.

We started My Damn Channel in the wake of an earlier round of big corporate layoffs as traditional media tried to wrap its arms around the intense insurgency of online video.
Many major media companies took a shot at chasing YouTube's brass ring, but they couldn't ride their horses fast enough to get into the lead ahead of all the upstart brands racing onto the field.
We ran fast in our first year. Some of our best competitors like Super Deluxe didn't make it. We loved their work. We stayed determined to keep costs low, but still bring the best talent - treat them well - and let them deliver quality, original web video which is getting seen by an audience growing faster by the second.
In the past 24 hours, we've had the #1 video on all of YouTube - thanks to Big Fat Brain, creators of "You Suck at Photoshop" and their NEW web series, "Agency of Record."
This week, TIME Magazine honored us in their Top 10 Everything of 2008 - twice! They put YSAP in the Top 10 TV Episodes of the year next to Lost, Mad Men, 30 Rock & Colbert. And they honored Sir Harry Shearer for one of his Katie Couric Open-Mic Moments that we call "Found Objects."
Maria on our team just told me we passed 42 million total views yesterday.
This week, we added Suhaila Suhimi to lead the advertising team bringing more top brands in to sponsor all of our new programming.
Here's a list of what's NEW & what's coming for the year ahead with immeasurable thanks for every second you've stopped your world to take a look at www.MyDamnChannel.com:
Flight of the Conchords HBO premiere episode next week on My Damn Channel - 3 weeks before it airs on HBO !
