Illeana Douglas Rob Mailhouse Illeana & Justine Bateman
Judith Owen & Harry Shearer Illeana & Tom Arnold
We were slightly confused as to what happened to the yellow polos, but everyone still looked great. Illeana Douglas, Rob Mailhouse, Justine Bateman, Tom Arnold, Keanu Reeves, Todd Spahr, Sean Durrie, Dominik Rausch, Wilson Cleveland, Greg Pritikin, Cheri Oteri, Kevin Pollak, Elisa Donovan, Kate Flannery, Michael Irpino, Nina Rausch, Daryl Sabara, the cast of "Prom Queen: Homecoming", the cast of "The Fall of Kaden", the cast of "Compulsions" and My Damn Channel VIPs Harry Shearer and Judith Owen graced the red carpet too.
Easy to Assemblepremieres new episodes every Thursday. In episode 2, Illeana has a team building event to have "Ikeans spend more time with Ikeans". See the joys of speed dating - or, uh - team building...here.
Ok…we almost never beg you.
We’re in Hollyweird for the world’s first, red carpet premiere of a web series. Two of them from the brilliant and beautiful mind of Illeana Douglas:
SPÄRHUSEN & EASY TO ASSEMBLE
Grace is here to host the red carpet madness at the Egyptian Theater.
Two shows screen on the big screen….you know, like Hollywood.
And SPÄRHUSEN performs live.
THANKS to IKEA for being the Angels of Branded Entertainment! - and Skyy for the vodka after-party (yay).

With the big premieres of Spärhusen and Easy to Assemble season 2 quickly approaching, we started thinking about the lovely nation of Sweden and all the wonderful things it has brought us. We're assuming you guys may not know everything (or maybe anything) about the country squished somewhere between Finland and Norway. So, here are a few educational facts about this Scandinavian gem!
--Sweden is called "The land of the midnight sun" or "The land of the Vikings". We’re thinking is should be called "The Land of Apples and Fish" or "The Land of Ikea"…but that’s just us.
--The Swedish alphabet has 3 more letters than the English alphabet; they are å, ä and ö. We're wondering how this changes the ABC song...
--One of Sweden’s most famous exports is the family friendly Volvo driven by soccer moms all over America. The soccer-mom in Sweden is known as the latte-mama. This is due to the Swedes’ obsession with coffee as they consistently rank in the top 5 for countries with the highest coffee consumption per year. A coffee break is known as a “fika”. “Fika” can be used as either a verb or a noun (i.e. “let's have a fika” or “shall we fika?”). This is similar to the English word “dance” or “shit” (i.e. “this is shit” or “I need to shit”).
--Legendary actresses Greta Garbo and Ingrid Bergman are both from The Land of Apples and Fish! Actor Gunnar Björnstrand, also hails from Sweden (not really sure who he is but he’s got an awesome name so therefore we included him).
--In the 1970’s, the Swedish band ABBA gained worldwide popularity. According to the always truthful and trustworthy Wikipedia.com, “Sweden is the third largest music exporter in the world, with over 800 million dollars in 2007 revenue, surpassed only by the US and the UK”. Obviously, with the highly anticipated release of Spärhusen’s “The Best of Sparhusen” these numbers are likely to increase.
--Finally, in Sweden dates are written Date/Month/Year unlike in America where we insist on being different from the rest of the world and writing Month/Date/Year. Therefore to avoid any confusion Spärhusen and Easy to Assemble Season 2 will be debuting on My Damn Channel on 8/10/2009 for the Swedes and 10/8/2009 for the Americans.

Those 3 tired words are decades old but Hollywood hopes they help you fall in love
with new shows.
We put quotes around our "new fall season" - knowing we can't fool you into love - but hoping it feels just a little funnier that way.
In two years, we’ve birthed 25 channels of music and comedy…working with
artists we love. We think you’ve taught us how to get talent and new
series worthy of your evil eye.
Help us buy another bag of chips for lunch!
