 Brooke
"Brookers" Brodack has become the first person to get picked up from
YouTube by a recongised Hollywood producer after being signed earlier
this month to an 18-month talent and development deal with Carson Daly
Productions. The video blogger (vlogger) has gained several million
views for videos which include Crazed Numa Fan, a gobledegook homage to
another Internet viral hit - Gary Brolsma's Numa Numa.
"The Internet has become a new platform for identifying emerging
artists such as Brookers. I hope to give her the opportunity to expose
her talent on a much larger scale," Carson Daly, former MTV presenter
and host of NBC's late-night show "Last Call," told Variety
The original Crazed Numa Fan video which has gained almost 2 million views. (based on Gary Brolsna's Numa Numa based on Dragonstea Din Tei by the Romanian Boyband O-zone)
"Several things immediately caught
my eye watching her videos," Daly said. "She's got a fresh point of
view, considerable directing skills and a great sense of music and how
to use it. There is potential for Webisodes, mobile series and definitely a great
TV show here. She'll be an exciting package to present to networks"
Recent Vlog - 'The Truth'
"I just love it that no middleman is involved," Daly told the LA
Times. "There's no agent, nothing. The pipeline is direct. I think it's
going to exponentially change how the business is run."
