Viceland to Go Live Four Nights a Week VICELAND TO GO LIVE FOUR NIGHTS A WEEK “VICE LIVE" SLATED TO PREMIERE FEBRUARY 25 New Venture Places LIVE Programming At The Center Of Network Slate Two-Hour Nightly Show To Be Hosted By Multi-Talented Panel: ​ ​ MARIE FAUSTIN, ZACK FOX, SANDY HONIG and FAT TONY Network enlists Executive Producer Jeremy Hutchins (BET's 106 & Park) and Director Joe Perota ("Last Week Tonight," "The Chris Gethard Show") January 17, 2019 (Brooklyn, NY) –VICELAND enters 2019 with a bang, announcing a bold new venture placing live programming at the center of its schedule -- airing "VICE LIVE" two hours a night, four nights a week, starting Monday February 25 from 9-11PM. ​ ​ VICE LIVE taps directly into the core of VICE's DNA - fearless irreverence, boundless curiosity and a DIY sensibility. Originating out of VICE’s buzzing Brooklyn Headquarters, ​ VICE LIVE will broadcast live (give or take seven seconds or so) and cover all of the day's hottest topics and trends, capitalizing on VICE's deep bench of young creators with diverse ​ ​ voices from its offices around the world. The show will be another platform for audiences to frame the rapidly-shifting, absurd and ​ ​ often messy culture around them, magnifying the multi-faceted lifestyle/cultural content and commentary that VICE was built on. Whether it's on the culture at-large or specific trends in food, fashion, sex, drugs, music, videogames and beyond VICE LIVE will be hyper-topical, but far from journalistic -- it is the VICE Guide to Right Now. The nightly show will be centered by a panel of sharp, funny, pop-culture-obsessed polymath panelists, each with their own distinct and authentic points of view. They are*: ● Comedian/actress MARIE FAUSTIN ​ ● Writer/comedian/internet provocateur ZACK FOX ​ ● Comedian/director/photographer SANDY HONIG ​ ● Rapper/host FAT TONY ​ *Full Bios in attached press kit. The show itself will continually be experimenting and evolving in real-time: any given episode could feature comedy pieces, celebrity visits, short-form videos, and field pieces and check-in's from VICE's outposts across the globe. Social media will factor into VICE LIVE constantly as viewers interact with the show in real-time, creating a 360-degree platform-agnostic experience that mirrors the fast pace of a younger audiences’ media appetite. To lead the daily show, VICELAND has hired executive producer Jeremy Hutchins (VH1 ​ ​ LIVE, 106 & PARK) and director Joe Perota ("Last Week Tonight," "The Chris Gethard ​ Show") who will work alongside VICELAND executive producers Nomi Ernst Leidner (SVP ​ ​ of development and EP of the Emmy-nominated "Gaycation" & "Woman"), Jeff Sammon ("Desus & Mero," "Tosh.0," "Jimmy Kimmel Live") and Catherine Whyte (VICELAND's EVP ​ ​ and head of production, MTV's "The Hills").

  • February 26, 2021 Amazon Warehouse Workers In
    February 26, 2021 Amazon warehouse workers in Bessemer, Alabama are voting to form a union with the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union (RWDSU). We are the writers of feature films and television series. All of our work is done under union contracts whether it appears on Amazon Prime, a different streaming service, or a television network. Unions protect workers with essential rights and benefits. Most importantly, a union gives employees a seat at the table to negotiate fair pay, scheduling and more workplace policies. Deadline Amazon accepts unions for entertainment workers, and we believe warehouse workers deserve the same respect in the workplace. We strongly urge all Amazon warehouse workers in Bessemer to VOTE UNION YES. In solidarity and support, Megan Abbott (DARE ME) Chris Abbott (LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE; CAGNEY AND LACEY; MAGNUM, PI; HIGH SIERRA SEARCH AND RESCUE; DR.

  • The Growing Relationship Between Brands and the Entertainment World Is a Big Theme Once Again at Cannes
    The growing relationship between brands and the entertainment world is a big theme once again at Cannes. The debate is focused on several growing issues for brands in this space – including the integration of social media and device technology at live events, built through partnerships with the likes of Snapchat and Twitter, and the distribution of branded entertainment through deals with big media companies. Undoubtedly the biggest issue, however, is the need for brands to adapt to a changing world where they are part of a larger entertainment ecosystem. This requires some brave thinking about their brand and its role, together with the ability to connect with and, ultimately, move people in some way. This concern emerged during the Lions Entertainment session ‘What’s Next in the World of Brands and Entertainment?” The point made most forcibly by Jonny Sabbath, of Anheusher- Busch InBev. He stressed the need for those in the brand world to “think like a marketer, act like a producer. As marketers we have to act more like entertainment producers, do less interrupting and more attracting.” Sabbath raised what for me should be a significant focus for brands: bringing something that’s unique, entertaining, or useful to your audience. He cited one of his own projects, the Beerland show on Vice Media’s Viceland that follows craft brewer Meg Gill on a journey to meet home-brewers, to make his point that brands are now engaging with audiences by buying or creating TV shows and then developing their advertising around this entertainment. This requires a different approach for brands, putting themselves more in the role of producer and asking whether people will want to actively engage with the content and whether the product or service has the permission to have a conversation with people at that time, and in that space.
