Hey everyone! I just wanted to let you know that I am very excited about this and am grateful for your kind emails/comments of support on this news! I have known for a while but wasn’t sure when I would say something. I was gonna keep in on the DL for a while longer but am glad you know so I can keep you in the loop!
This deal has no impact on my You Tube posting. What the Buck will continue to live on You Tube. I am not foolish enough to think -”Oh I want to be on TV- and not You Tube”. I said on BlogTV tonight, I have always believed the internet was and will continue to be my future. In case you hadn’t noticed, I love it here!
Regardless of any “mainstream media” projects that I pursue along the way- the internet is my home! Who knows if the show I am working on will make it to TV but I am looking forward to the journey and the people at HBOlab are wonderful to work with! I am just focused on creating something fun! YAY! Stay tuned!

P.S. “And of course, I am hoping to attract a new audience of people who do not enjoy seeing a camp gay guy taking the piss out of [singer] Miley Cyrus.”= Best line ever!

Hey Buck- I am so proud of you. You are so talented and you deserve it.
ADVICE:
Regardless, I support you, but I am a little worried because in TV you get 1 shot, and if you are doing something different, people may or may not understand it. Like HBO had great shows like The Comeback, but people didnt get it so it didnt work out.
If I could give 1 more piece of advice, I do not like the character you play when you are talking to niga higa.
Sorry for being so bitchy, but I meant all these things constructively.
