Get ready for a *SPECIAL* video on Monday: Earlier this year, Karen and I had the extreme pleasure of working on a pitch for a kids show called Outdoor Ed! I play Ed, a 20-foot-tall mountain man who wants to make a nature show with the help of his woodland friends and his sweet (if a little self-serious) producer, Business Duck (played by Victor Yerrid). Working on this allowed me to achieve two of my biggest dreams: hosting a kids show, and playing a character who is really tall.
It has stop motion and puppets and beautiful physical sets made by some of the best artists and craftspeople and puppet wranglers (official title) in the industry, and I cannot overstate how much fun it was to make. The show is all about the joys of creating things with your friends, and the experience of making this proof-of-concept video was much the same. We all volunteered to make this because we loved the show idea, so I feel no shame when I say:
PLEASE SHARE THIS VIDEO ON MONDAY! With your family! Your friends! The kids in your life! Anyone who loves silly songs, or nature shows, or art made by passionate humans! Even if the show never gets picked up, I'm so proud to publish it on my channel, and I hope it brings a little joy to your day. I can't wait for you to see it!
