The World Through Purple Glasses

As an avid History Channel (and Dave Holmes) fan, I’ll for sure check this out!

My friends: 

This past summer, I had the great privilege of shooting a pilot for the History Channel’s new network H2, and I am excited to tell you it’s actually airing this weekend. It’s called How Many People Does It Take, and in it we meet all the people along the assembly lines of some of our favorite things (Maker’s Mark bourbon and Bicycle playing cards, for example). I’m really, honestly proud of it, and I think it’s the perfect way to end your Thanksgiving weekend: wear something with an elastic waistband, nuke a plate of leftovers, and let me entertain you. 

Here’s the thing: this show is what we call a “backdoor pilot,” which means that if the ratings are good enough, they’ll make some more. So if you would be so kind, please spread the word. Reblog, set your DVRs, tell your parents. HMPDIT (which we called Humped It for short) was an absolute ball to make, and I would love to get the band back together and do this for a nice long time. 

Many, many thanks. Happy Thanksgiving! Hump it.
