Up Close and Very Personal — ASAP

OK, you guys, who have been getting my words of wisdom in my sometimes crazed but hopefully always interesting obsession with trying to save the world, I have a request. It's for something that will do nothing for the world but make it laugh hysterically.

I'm not saying that because the cause of the laughter is my daughter. No, no, you know I wouldn't do that. Trust me, trust me, I would have laughed at anyone in this five minute video. My darling daughter, Liza, in a hiatus from winning Emmy awards for producing daytime TV talk shows (she has four from Rosie O'Donnell), has put herself o­n the other side of the camera in 39 Second Single, which she's been posting o­n the Internet weekly for the past few months. (It started out to be 39 seconds long, but is up to about 5 minutes now.) It's Liza at 39, wishing she was in love, and talking about her various dates that don’t lead to matrimony.

The latest episode, The Montage, that made me laugh out loud, is an unusual o­ne which you'll see if you click o­n this link:

If you do that, while being entertained you could help to get this laugh fest episode to go viral — which would help Liza in all sorts of ways, including a boost it would give to her development deal with The Learning Channel, which could turn 39 Second Single into a half hour TV show.

To happy clicking,

Mommy Suzanne

PS: To see more of Liza's episodes, go to http://39secondsingle.com. And to see another series of 5 minute videos that she's posting weekly, which will bring chuckles if you are an American Idol fan, go to http://idolcritic.com. A new episode goes up every Thursday, after the Wednesday elimination. Idol fans will get a kick out of Liza's quirky observations and her great wit (which of course I'd say even if she were not my daughter)!

AN EMAIL FROM LIZA TO HER FRIENDS:

So there's a web site, http://funnyordie.com, that has become the jumping off point for videos to go viral. You might know it from Will Ferrell's “the rent is due” video that has been circulating o­n the web. The way it works is the video has to be viewed a thousand times in order for it to “survive.” Here's the link to The Montage episode of 39 Second Single: http://sjl.funnyordie.com/v1/view_video.php?viewkey=0501e3600d9a1b4ee5d4

Watch it and vote “FUNNY” afterwards. It's our best chance for this episode to go viral. Please forward this to as many people as possible. 

Thanks everyone,
