HP is launching a comedy show on YouTube. It will feature actors from the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater. The cast will take skit ideas from viewers and perform them on the renowned video-streaming site.
HP ePrint Live will be hosted by Rob Riggle and will be aired on YouTube and HP’s Facebook page. Viewers can send their skit ideas via e-mail.
The show is set to premiere on January 21, and will be followed by five consecutive days of comedy shorts based on viewer skit submissions.
Critics say that it’s a clever form of branded entertainment. However, its success will depend on the talent and skill of the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater cast.
