In 2000, we sold 35% of our company to Zilo Networks, a college television network [we eventually got it back when they were unable to meet their proposed terms].
When we went in for an initial meeting, they showed us around the office. In the editing bay, a guy was working on a series called “Mind of Martin” starring an up and coming comedian named Demetri Martin. I watched the clips they were editing and thought they were the funniest thing in the world. When I got back to campus, I would re-tell the jokes that I was able to memorize.
Years later, I’d move to New York and get to know Demetri a bit through the comedy world. Anyway, today I stumbled across those clips. If nothing else, it’s funny to see Demetri with long hair.
To put all my cards on the table, here’s a link to the now-kinda-embarassing show we did for the Zilo network, Get $tupid.
Demetri’s “If I” is hilarious as well. It’s a 6-parter on YouTube, but I’m sure it’s up in it’s entirety somewhere.
