Unscripted, News, Topical & Documentary Content
Unscripted content and daily shows I've developed and funded, produced, wrote for and/or directed.
This novelty talk show I created featuring an aloof intern as the host is my favorite show from 100T. It’s also one of their best performing shows of all time
I’ve often been able to be ahead of the curve on trends with my ideas, and this video is a great example of that. Pre-dates “Is It Cake?” on Netflix by about a year
Esports and gaming content had been stuck in a rut for so long, but to me the greatest appeal was in the audience’s deep desire to see an ensemble of their favorite creator’s interacting with one another in person
I personally developed and produced this massive adult summer camp program with all of our top creators. It was profitable Y1 and generated tens of millions of views across 100T, creator accounts and social pages
Anyone can make let’s play gaming content, but adding an extra layer of novelty to it is what makes a video like this special
We created this in-person tier list show at 100T and every single episode of it performed incredibly
We produced this LCS Championship hype video with Lil Nas X in like 3 days. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a team that could pull that off before or since.
During my time at 100T, we won a ton of awards for consistently producing original and fresh content for an esports audience that stood apart fromthe very insular style other channels were producing
This is a more targeted version of our more broad main channel 100T tier lists, with our championship Valorant team. Another hit!
I launched this 100 Thieves Esports account under the pretense that people would want to watch fun experiential content with creators that were native to that space, and I was proved right here
I’ve done about a million podcasts in my time. As long as they have consistency and great guests, the ROI is just incredible though
This concept pulled triple-duty as a banger video, a fun after-shoot influencer party and an apparel photo shoot. Would love to do this one again as a live event!
I was the executive producer of this show, which was the most successful program IGN had launched in years
I wrote, recorded and edited a few of these sorts of things at IGN, which was always a lot of fun
Making an anti-gun video on a gaming website and having it be universally well-received is perhaps the most difficult needle I have ever threaded
I created this show at IGN in order to tap into a broader ensemble cast, and get social videos out faster and more effectively.
I launched this popular live show at IGN around the time Covid began to take root so we could still make topical content remotely.
This was one of my favorite pieces that aired during my tenure at IGN, and a perfect example of how these sorts of docs should look
Top 10 lists are almost too easy to include here, but this is a good example of niche content made for an underserved audience
How To videos always performed well at IGN, but streamlining the style and presentation catapulted their performance universally
When every IP is a sequel or a reboot, these lore recap videos deployed around the time of a new release always hit
A fan-favorite episode of the experiential/challenge series I created at SourceFed
A favorite later episode of the SourceFed news show, ft. Steven Suptic and Candace Carrizalez
A very good episode of the daily pop culture show I ran at Discovery Digital, ft. Whitney Moore and Sam Bashor
One of my favorite episodes of People Be Like with Will Haynes, which we developed and launched as a new channel/brand
An experiential piece in which we had the extended cast take citizenship tests... which we mostly failed :/
The 1st episode of a casual DnD show I created with Maude Garrett, soon to be in it's 5th successfully crowd-funded season
A funny man-on-the-street video where we ask the people of NY: "Are Ya Basic?"
I created a popular gameplay channel with Steven Suptic and Reina Scully in 2015, and this video really captures the spirit of what made it great
This is one of my favorite competitive challenge videos from the popular 'CoWorkers' series
A great example of tabletop gameplay ft. a ton of great talent, on a set I built for the long-running talk show 'Table Talk'
A one-shot flythrough of the Discovery Digital offices that I directed for NewFronts 2016
A trailer from the SourceFed and Phil DeFranco 2015 live shows in LA and NY
The 6-hour finale livestream for SourceFed, ft. every cast member, produced segments & live games
In this video, Will Haynes gets online dating advice from his mom. It didn't go super well!
A great example of a fun cooking segment w/ Matt Lieberman, where he Kentucky-fried a bunch of weird stuff and made everyone in the office taste the results
For this CoWorkers challenge video, we woke up three roommates at 3am and had them build Ikea furniture
One of my favorite examples of a very popular topical explainer series from SourceFed Nerd, ft. Matt Lieberman
I created the ETC Show as it existed (up until 2018) back in 2010. This was my 1st time co-hosting though!
A sizzle of live political coverage from the RNC and DNC Presidential debate events in 2016
I used to make video essays on my own just for fun. this one originally aired on Adi Shankar’s Bootleg Universe
I actually appear in several episodes of this series for Jubilee, rare for me!
SuperPanicFrenzy was probably my favorite experience programming a gaming channel of all time :)
the 1st episode of a UGC collab FailArmy did with People Are Awesome, which generated over 100M views across YT and FB
A fake AJ+ style video we made at SourceFed that many thought was real for some reason
