Bye ZeFrank

ByNalts

A note from WillVideoForFood Reader, PC:

Tomorrow is ZeFrank‘s last day. Come on, I know you don’t like the guy, but you have to be a responsible journali… er… blogger and write something about it… You can quote me on that, Kev.

z.jpgOkay, Phil. Tomorrow is ZeFrank’s last day. There. I said it. I can’t remember where he’s going. I think he’s getting a soon-to-be-cancelled television show.

Let’s take a moment to remember all the time we tried to befriend him with nice e-mails. Then, when ignored we tried to tease him. Then when further ignored, tried to provoke him. Then just spoof him. Then forget about him.

He’s sold out to Dewar’s Blended Scotch Whiskey in his last week, and his eyes show it.

Boob-Tube Audience Slips to Online-Video But Retains Advertising

Though television may be losing viewers to online video, it continues to hold advertisers. Fewer people have been watching traditional TV channels so far this TV season, the first such decline since at least 2007. Here are some details, punctuated by my favorite “cringe worthy” quote of television versus online video. The Wall Street Journal’s Suzanne…

Anyway it turns out I was scheduled to be presenting 6 miles from there that same…

  2. My vote is that he marries Drew Barrymore for 5 months like Tom Green which also like Tom Green will be the highlight of his time in Hollywood…when he bombs it will be disappointing for him as he has been pulling in at least the equivalent of a $100k a year salary on ‘the show’ for the last six months; not bad for working only 3 hrs a day. You think he would want to stick with the format and expand slowly; versus the TV show route. But all of those Starbucks lattes and expensive NYC living makes a guy go for the brass ring.

  4. I am a fan of both Nalts and Ze. It’s kinda like West Side Story – I can’t figure out if I’m a Jet or a Shark.

    I have to give Ze credit for sticking with his original plan of shutting down on the 17th. It’s an interesting study in social networking: he has a relatively large fan base waiting for his show to air.

    Nalts – how about a Network TV Ze Show Bubble Burst contest?

  5. I’m sad to see Zefrank go. He is the reason I started making videos. I’m surprised that he is crossing over, but I shouldn’t be since the lure of the almighty euro controls everything, except my undying love for Nalts, which borders on stalking.
