800 Pound Gorilla Media: The Future of Comedy
800 Pound Gorilla Media is rapidly emerging as a game-changer in the comedy world, with a clear vision and an impressive roster of talent. They are poised to become the next Comedy Central and that is what they want.
I personally have heard of them for most of my comedy career and always been impressed by the talent they work with.
800 Pound Gorilla: A Rising Star in the Comedy Scene
800 Pound Gorilla Media has been making waves with their incredible YouTube channel, which features a treasure trove of free comedy specials from up-and-coming comedians. The production quality is top-notch, ensuring that each performance is captured in all its glory, bringing the laughter right to your screen. They have inspired me to really focus on growing The Big Laughs Youtube channel to follow in their footsteps.
Ambitious Goals
Their ambition doesn’t stop at YouTube. This weekend, 800 Pound Gorilla Media was be featured on the Daily Comedy News podcast, where they discussed their vision! Not only did they breakdown how they find talent and get them paid. Also mentioned they want to fill the whole that Comedy Central left in the past years. Growing up I was glued to Comedy Central on my CRT TV so this made my inner child cry and smile at the same time. Give this episode a listen!
A New Era for Comedy
With their commitment to promoting new talent and their innovative approach to comedy distribution, 800 Pound Gorilla Media is not just a player in the comedy world; they are shaping its future. Just as Comedy Central defined a generation of comedy, 800 Pound Gorilla Media is set to do the same for the digital age. Truly, I think they could be the ones to do it.
Hulu Acquires 800 Pound Gorilla Specials – I Knew This Would Happen
Last year, I had a strong feeling that a major streaming platform would pick up 800 Pound Gorilla’s comedy specials. I thought it might be Tubi or Amazon, but Hulu ended up making the move—and it was a fantastic choice. By acquiring the entire slate of 800 Pound Gorilla specials, Hulu is giving these shows a major streaming home, making them more accessible to a wider audience. This is a huge win for both the company and comedians, further cementing 800 Pound Gorilla’s status as the new Comedy Central.
