That Guy (Tuesdays)
A new comedy web series that plays with uncomfortable humor (ala “The Office) about…well...that guy.
Do you know the guy who talks way too loudly on his cell phone? Or the one who takes way too long to order? The guy who wears a cowboy hat to every party? Better yet, the guy who can insult everyone he makes small talk with at a dinner party?
Then you know That Guy.
Matt Vascellaro and Kent Haines created and executive produce the web series. That Guy is produced by Vascellaro/Haines Inc.

Owen Benjamin Presents (Wednesdays) How-To segments of music videos, and other online vignettes from actor/comedian/Internet video genius Owen Benjamin.
Owen Benjamin
While How-To guides may come a dime-a-dozen, they rarely address topics that one can apply to awkward real-life situations.
Benjamin offers his own unique take and expertise in successfully dealing with uncomfortable situations that range from “How to get your one-night-stand to leave” to “How to tell your friend he has bad breath” and “How to fake a talent,” among others.
Additionally, Benjamin makes his parents proud by putting his musical talents (and real-life training as a classical pianist) to good use in hilarious music videos that showcase his original songs.
The web series was created and is executive produced by Owen Benjamin, and is produced by Owen Benjamin, Inc.
