Twitter Pitch: Jims of Comedy
/If you're funny and your name's Jim, we want you in a future episode of "Serious Business."
As part of launching the first season of Serious Business, the creators took a novel approach: Tweeting a personalized pitch video, every weekday for the month of April 2013, to a different celebrity, convincing them to be in future episodes. Needless to say, the ideas were awful, but they reached a lot of celebrities.
