What do Jennifer Lopez, live animals, giant bananas, and a guy sitting on a couch watching TV have in common? They all contributed to the success of Yahoo! TV’s Primetime in No Time, which just streamed its 500th episode!
But the real contributor to the success of PiNT has been you, dear viewer. Because of you, our popular TV recap show has even more reasons to celebrate…we’ve reached more than 365 million streams, 12 million of which were on one day for Jennifer Lopez’s fall during the American Music Awards. Note to celebrities: please fall down more often and feel free to interrupt Taylor Swift any chance you get. Man, I love LIVE TV! And you guys are spending an average of 6 minutes on our page. Our show is only 3 and a half to 4 minutes long. This is why we love you!!!
We’ve had some good times on PiNT. Remember when Donald Shultz from Wild Recon brought live animals on the set? And who doesn’t love the skits where I get to sing and dance. And of course, my personal favorite -- the Steelers winning the Superbowl. It’s their 6th by the way!
But it wasn’t all good times, for me anyways. My least favorite moment was getting sucker punched, falling off of some giant bananas and more torture all in the name of good television as a guest on ABC’s hit show Wipeout. As you are reading this, know that I am still in pain but will continue my TV watching duties. Hopefully I will still be able to have children after my final crash.
Let’s not forget to thank the many special guests who visited the PiNT studio in Los Angeles including the Glee Kids who were really jealous of my voice; reality show contestants from Survivor (thanks for showering before coming in) and The Bachelor/ The Bachelorette; actor Harry Hamlin and comedienne Margaret Cho.
But back to you, dear viewer. Thank you for watching Primetime in No Time on Yahoo! TV, for following me and Yahoo! TV on Twitter (@franknicotero and @yahootv), and for making us THE most popular online video show.
