Human Giant Live!
Tuesday, April 1, 2008; 6:00 to 7:30 pm
Fans of absurdist sketch comedy have thrilled to the work of Human Giant, both on the Internet and MTV. The Paley Center has gathered the perpetrators of this nonsense to discuss the process of making this stuff, preview some new material, and delight and amaze our audience with stunts, japes, jests, and a big t-shirt cannon. Sit in the back!
In Person: Aziz Ansari, Rob Huebel, Paul Scheer, and Jason Woliner

Click Critics:
The Power of Fan Websites
Monday, May 19, 2008; 6:00 to 7:30 pm
TV recap/fan sites like Television Without Pity have a significant impact on television's creative community, as producers are able to instantly track fans' reactions to their programming. In addition to the entertainment these portals provide readers, they have become the ultimate focus group, making passionate, informed, unfiltered audience responses to new material a simple click away. We are gathering writers behind some of the more well-known sites to discuss the influence of fan sites on programming, the culture of actively engaged critical communities, and their position in the "legitimate" critical landscape.
In Person: Kevin Croy (Lostpedia), Remona Outar (Ugly Is In), ProgGrrl (Galactica Sitrep), Dan Manu (Television Without Pity), Damon Schmidt (Whedonesque), Jennie Tan (OfficeTally)
