Confessions Of A Christmas Banshee

Confessons of a Christmas Banshee is a combination of unique storytelling combined with film, and MGM musical style song and dance numbers about Wendy Rosoff's experiences of Christmas. From her childhood obsession with presents she was denied (Big Barbie Head, Snoopy Sno-Cone Machine, Holly Hobby Easy Bake Oven), to taking it upon herself to educate the world about Claymation Christmas Specials on TV, to professional tales and a behind the scenes look at what really happens in giant Christmas vehicles like the Radio City Christmas Spectacular... the good, the bad and the ugly. All this and she's Jewish. Merry Christmas!!

 

WHAT IS GOODNIGHT BURBANK?

A little "The Office", a little "The Daily Show" and a lot of originality - that's Goodnight Burbank, a fictional 11 O'Clock newscast delivered straight from Hollywood's back yard.

 

WHAT THE CRITICS ARE SAYING....

Funny...Well done. It's a lot better than 99% of the stuff on TV.
- Peter Johnson, USA Today


One of my favorite shows...
- Walt Mossberg, Wall Street Journal


Best of the Web
- TV Guide


Bracingly funny...Competitive...with the very best that networks have to offer
- Scott Collins, LA Times


The Murphy Brown of this millenium
- Amy Murphy, LA's Fox11 News


Another winner. Think "Studio 60" with a "Daily Show" edge.
- Ellen Lee, San Francisco Chronicle
...brilliantly satirises local US TV news and would not look out of place on a network.
- BBC News


...thoroughly entertaining.
- Hollywood Reporter


Hayden Black could give David Letterman a run for his money. Goodnight Burbank is a hybrid between Ricky Gervais and Jon Stewart - and it's really, really funny.
- G4 TechTV's "Torrent"


A beautifully written and excellently performed comedy series, Goodnight Burbank ostensibly shows a nightly newscast broadcasting out of California. But this is more a comedy of relationships, as the dysfunctional co-anchors spar and joust, both during the broadcast and in off-air moments.
It's an excellent format that's perfect for a video podcast, and Hayden Black, who write and acts, has something of the "Ricky Gervais" about him. His two co-stars are also perfectly cast, and the whole series is outstanding.

Listen in on the Digital Production BuZZ interview with writer/creator/Gordon Hayden Black
...I'm looking forward to seeing how the on-air relationships gel or in this case dissolve. The secret to dood comedy, is having characters you can believe in and actors who can portray them to their fullest. Goodnight Burbank succeeds on both counts.
- Vidcast Launchpad


An outrageous take on TV news. The dysfunctional co-anchors often upstage their breaking stories, venting off-air tidbits most viewers can identify with.
- Burbank Leader


It's almost a high...
- Liz Spikol, Sr Editor, Philadelphia Weekly


Hayden Black could give David Letterman a run for his money. Goodnight Burbank is a hybrid between Ricky Gervaise and John Stewart - and it's really, really funny.
- G4 TechTV's "Torrent"


Goodnight Burbank is a funny podcast that looks a lot like your local evening news. However, as soon as they start talking you know its going to kick ass.
