It's news to me but I guess this guy named Bo Burnham is pretty big on YouTube. Not only that but somehow he hooked up with comedy genius Judd Apatow and is helping him write the script for a movie.
Bo Burnham achieved internet fame in December 2006 after releasing a video featuring his performing an original song, "My Whole Family", on YouTube. As of July 2008, "My Whole Family" has received 2 million views. Over the following year, Bo Burnham released 12 videos on YouTube and Myspace, garnering a combined total of 14.5 million views. In June 2008, Bo Burnham released his first EP on iTunes, entitled "Bo Fo Sho". The album subsequently reached the number three position on the Billboard Top Comedy Albums chart and the number 6 position on top iTunes albums. He was on Last Call with Carson Daly. He also appeared on Talkshow with Spike Feresten on October, 4, 2008.
Burnham has had his videos featured on a variety of webpages besides YouTube, including Break.com, collegehumor.com and comedycentral.com. [Wikipedia]
