Greg The Bunny Co-Creator Sean Baker and Writer, Comedian Jeffrey Gurian Guest on IPTV Evangelist

Special Humor Edition of Vlog Interview Series Showcases Two Leading Figures of Short-Form Online Comic Videos

Also, Nominations for the IPTV Top 50 Near Nov. 30 Deadline

NEW YORK, NY, November 26, 2006 - IPTV Evangelist (www.iptvevangelist.com) welcomes Greg the Bunny co-creator Sean Baker and writer, comedian Jeffrey Gurian, best known for his hilarious Men Who... films, for a special humor edition of the esteemed video blog interview series.

Whereas past guests have spoken about such larger issues as the market issues of IPTV penetration and which companies are getting it right and which aren't, this time around Gilbert B. Hammer, IPTV Evangelist's editor and creator, sat down with two individuals who are creating content in what is far and way the most popular genre of online film - humor.

Among the topics discussed:

+ Why short-form comedy works so well as IPTV content

+ How much is too much in terms of film length

+ How the demand for short-form online comedy took big media companies by surprise

In particular, Baker discusses the various incarnations of Greg the Bunny, now on the IFC Channel every Saturday night at 9pm; and Gurian talks about how he is using his background as a stand-up comedian to bring the likes of Peter Dinklage, star of the Station Agent, into the realm of online video.

Finally, IPTV Evangelist would like to remind everyone involved in IPTV that the Nov. 30 deadline for nominations for the first-annual IPTV Evangelist Top 50 is fast-approaching. Sponsored by WineLibrary TV (http://tv.winelibrary.com/), the list will be unveiled on Tuesday, December 5, with one lucky nominator, drawn at random, winning a case of wine. To submit your nominee, go to www.iptvevangelist.com/top50 and fill out the form, complete with your name and the name of the person you're nominating and why they deserve to be on the list.
