We're in love with Mary Lynn Rajskub (Chloe from "24"). She's a new member of the My Damn Channel fam with an original character comedy, DICKI.

My Damn Channel: Live
Melissa expands our management team in the NY office where
Jesse Cowell (Director of Content) and

Rob Barnett (Founder/CEO) to oversee more killer original comedy and music than legally allowed on the Interweb.
"Melissa brings awesome experience, talent and spirit to our team as we prep to make 2012 the year My Damn Channel delivers more new original programming than ever before," said Rob Barnett. He added, "She's developed and produced over 30 original digital series and branded entertainment campaigns and over 30 independent music videos, commercials, and short films. She worked for David Chase for god's sake!"
Melissa graduated from NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts, and went on to work for The Public Theater / NY Shakespeare Festival during George C. Wolfe’s tenure. She left the theater to work in (wait for it) The Sopranos...in the writers' office for creator David Chase, and writers: Terence Winter (creator, "Boardwalk Empire"), Robin Green & Mitchell Burgess (creators, "Blue Bloods") and Matthew Weiner (creator, "Mad Men").
Melissa went digital...producing online content for Macy’s, XBOX, Vuguru, Nickelodeon, Swanson, Verizon FiOS, CJP Digital, and Summit Entertainment to name a few.

Something Old Something New on 4/29/2011 7:00:00 AM by Matt Warren
If you woke up this morning with an extra spring in your step and a little bit of a glow about you, fear not. It's not a brain tumor (probably)—you're just basking in the glorious psychic afterglow of the Royal Wedding! I mean, like, OMG, right?
Yes, there's nothing more romantic than a photogenic young commoner being hand-selected by the Illuminati and served up on a silver platter for review and approval by the future king's cadre of clucking, hunchbacked toadies as they strum lutes and swill peasants' blood from pewter goblets. At least that's how I presume it works. I don't know. I'm an American.
But regardless, My Damn Channel is using this opportunity to "say yes to the dress" and provide you with one each of the following:
Something old...
The first ever episode of 'You Suck at Photoshop.'
Something new...
The latest trailer for the new series 'Versailles,' starring Patricia Heaton.
Something borrowed...
Not ours, but still hilarious: a break dancer kicks a baby in the face.
And something blue...
Andy Milonakis's 'Red Blue.' That works, I guess.
So say "I do" to these videos or forever hold your peace. Also, don't forget to send the happy young couple something nice. I'm pretty sure they're registered at Pottery Barn.
We're only two weeks away from the launch of
Versailles. Among the many stars of this dark and twisted comedy is the illustrious Fred Willard. Would it be bold of me to say that Versailles puts Fred in one of his top five comedic roles ever? Yes it would, and I just said it.
Versailles launches May 9th. Check out this
promo (featuring Fred Willard in a wrestling onesie) and set your internet for May 9th so you can be the first to check out this great new series.
