NEW YORK, Feb. 11 /PRNewswire/ -- My Damn Channel (www.MyDamnChannel.com), the entertainment studio and new media platform, today premieres three new reasons to work less and watch more video: "Horrible People," "Cookin' with Coolio," and "Carnival of Stuff."

The entertainment studio backs professional artists by producing and distributing videos on its own site and in broad syndication on major portals including YouTube (www.YouTube.com/MyDamnChannel).
My Damn Channel's music destination is led by legendary music producer Don Was. The comedy line-up includes web phenom Andy Milonakis. Viral hits include videos by Harry Shearer (3.5 million views) and Big Fat Brain's 'You Suck at Photoshop' (3.6 million views). David Wain's episodic comedy 'Wainy Days' has over 4.1 million views and celebrates its second season finale today with episode 20 (www.MyDamnChannel.com/WainyDays).
"The best talent line-up in the game deliver original new videos every week," said Rob Barnett, president & CEO of My Damn Channel. "We're building a big brand, mass audience and real revenues at a fast pace without any corporate red tape."
Today's premieres include:
-- "Horrible People" -- an evil comic soap opera
Actor and comedian A.D. Miles ("Wet Hot American Summer", "Dog Bites
Man") writes, directs and stars in a depraved soap opera, which takes
place at a never-ending cocktail party. Kristin Schaal ("The Flight of
the Conchords") and Mather Zickel ("Dancing with Shiva") co-star with
A.D. Miles. The series is produced by Jonathan Stern, and new episodes
will unfold every Monday at lunchtime for 10 weeks of "addictive workus
interruptus."

-- "Carnival of Stuff" -- original branded comedy
Carnival of Stuff is the new online channel for Steve Kerper, creator
of HBO's cult series "Hardcore TV." "Invasion," the first of two new
projects, is an animated series about two small but determined aliens
ordered to conquer Earth, with decidedly mixed results. Kerper writes
the series which is animated by Asterisk (SNL's TV Funhouse). In March,
Kerper and My Damn Channel debut "Bedtime Stories," based on
traditional children's fables retold with illustrations in a very
provocative way by host Grace Helbig. Carnival of Stuff episodes
premiere every Thursday.
