I got to do a little writing and acting for this amazing video directed by Matt and Oz, starring lots of hilarious creeps. I also got to act with (and on) one of my favorite comedians. Watchwatchwatch

This is the great song “(Hangin’ Out With) Friends” by my new band Sugar Rush.

A little while ago, I told FOD producer Christin Trogan, “Get me 7 13-year-old girls”. This is the result. Thanks to all the girls who sat around awkwardly, co-director Danny Jelinek, DP Brian Lane, and Oz for saying the phrase “Staying Positive with Jesse”.

Really fun NBA Finals sketch I directed. Written by Dave Ferguson, shot by Brian Lane, produced by Christin Trogan and Phillip Van Wagoner. The first of many jams coming your way from the mysterious FOD music collective Gold Club.

I contributed some jokes to this excellent video, directed by Matt and Oz, written by Jennie Pierson, starring Beau Bridges. Highly highly recommended.

I got to edit the new Between Two Ferns with Zach Galifianakis and special guest Will Ferrell. Directed by Scott Aukerman, shot by Brian Lane. Really fun to cut this show!

Just unlocked the weird world of mashups and webcam tributes to my video “Sex Offender Shuffle”. Here’s a strange anime recut of it.

And here’s not one but two random girls doing the Laura Hughes verse. I’m not sure how to feel about this.

What happens when a legendary nine member rock band adopts an adorable young boy? “Chicago and Me”.

Chicago and Me from Chicago_The_Band

This is an idea I’ve had for years, and I still can’t believe I got to do it with the real band. Everybody in Chicago was unbelievably nice, especially to my dad, a lifelong Chicago fan who visited the set and had an amazing time. Rachel Ferrera and her team built an amazing set, Ryan McNeely and his crew shot and lit the hell out of it. Skyler James, our kid, didn’t have one bad take. Perry Smith rocked as always. So proud of everybody!

I am a big fan of “Cheaters”, so I was extremely happy to make this video, a multi-layered “Cheaters” odyssey, with a very special surprise at the end.

Now let me thank all the incredible people involved. Seriously everybody, you killed it. I’m so happy to know you and work with you.
