GNB: Hollywood Report

Goodnight Burbank has been one of the more popular and award-winning television series on the web over the past few years. So what’s the scoop on your new show, “Goodnight Burbank: Hollywood Report”?



It’s a spin-off set during a new daytime entertainment show that the fictional channel 6 is now running. Gordon had been promised his own show but at the last minute Kelly is added to the roster – and he’s pretty pissed off about it. But he’s really got nothing to be worried about. Despite being on Hollywood’s back step, they’ve still got virtually zero access to the stars.



At its heart though, it’s all about the characters and this season has tons of stories for them. Kelly Jones starts dating George Michael, the pop star who’s been on a ‘gay conversion’ at a church. My character Gordon gets done for a DUI and winds up getting into it with Tom Hanks who happened to be arrested the same evening. The fictional producer of the show played by the gorgeous Monica Young decides she’d be happier as a man so begins her transition to be what turns out to be the most feminine, beautiful men ever. I’m telling you, it’s 20 episodes of lunacy that you’ll get some real big laughs from and it just premiered on Babelgum.

Just to be clear, Tom Hanks and George Michael are not actually on your show, right?

They might! You’ll have to tune in and find out.

So why Babelgum?

Why not? They wanted some great new content with which to brand their new relaunch so what can I say, they’ve got great taste! They licensed these 20 original episodes for one year so that’s where you can find them. Just head to babelgum.com then search for ‘Goodnight Burbank’. Click on the episodes to show up to see which number they are, then watch in order!

It’s funny how if you’re doing music or an audio podcast, it’s so clear cut: put it in iTunes. But video is a whole different deal.

This is why I hate the term “podcasting” because it makes people think you need an iPod of some kind of access the content, and that’s just so not the case.

And yet the irony is that “podcast” is the one word that’s actually gotten through to the mainstream, even though they don’t know what it means.

Right. It was just adopted early enough that that’s what the word has become. I don’t refer to anything I do as podcasting. I call it online content, web TV, anything like that, that really gives you a better idea of what you’re getting.

Is the spinoff also available in a podcast format?

A It’s available both on Babelgum’s site and if you have an iPhone you can download their iPhone app which is hugely popular and watch ‘em there. And you can just add @goodniteburbank – yes, it’s spelled differently, the regular spelling is too long – to your twitter account for lots of topical jokes about the news.
