Episodes will include original Keek videos that put the spotlight on music, fashion, sports and comedy. Up to 10 short "Keekisodes" will be released on the Keek platform on the TTTS channel where users can watch 36 second sneak peaks into the creation of the show prior to each full-length episode release, and exclusive bonus clips as companion content.

"This marks the first transmedia talk show in history that exclusively stars social media influencers," said Lin Dai, CMO at Keek. "It pushes the boundary of digital, social and mobile original content in a brand new way. Our goal is to cast a spotlight on new social media talent and deliver and schedule the content across digital, social and mobile platforms in a manner that fits the lifestyle of today's digital audience."

Comedian Whitney Rice is managed by Brillstein Entertainment Partners. Known for her standup act and work on YouTube, she recently partnered with Above Average Digital Comedy Network, the digital arm of Lorne Michaels' Broadway Video. "I'm super excited about TTTS and couldn't ask for a better or more hilarious team," Rice said. "I just wish I didn't have to refill my tiny coffee mug every couple minutes."
