NEIL HAMBURGER

The Real UHF is taking the concept behind Weird AL and Jay Levey’s brainchild “UHF” and developing it into an internet television network. ‘UHF’ was the story of a man destined for mediocrity despite his inspired imagination.

In 2009, a man destined for the same future is given control of Radio Recorders (the television studio where Elvis’ Jailhouse Rock was created) ,and creates three original podcasts to air on their new home- The Real UHF.

Dr Demento

In 2010, Dr. Demento will celebrate his 40th year of producing and DJing novelty comedy songs and pop music parodies. Dr. Demento hosted a four-hour radio program on KMET from 1972-1983 that inspired a young AL Yankovic to indulge his ‘Weird’ side and start recording music. Dr. Demento has introduced thousands of new artists on the airwaves, but none have resonated as universally as Weird Al. Zack Wolk (owner of the Real UHF channel) says: “I grew up listening to AL and was subsequently turned on to Dr. Demento, I listened to the ‘Best of’ Dr. Demento until the tape wore itself out and always wished for the show to air on TV, so I could see these performances performed live.”

The Dr. Demento television program brings cameras into Dr. Demento’s radio station where he plays original music videos instead of vinyl records, presents live performances, and interviews musicians and comedians.

The Count Smokula Show

496 year-old undead, accordion-playing, ventriloquist, comic cult icon and Hollywood-based legend vampire, Count Smokula stars in this sketch-comedy series and will entertain special guests at his Castle and basement laboratory in Smokesylvania.

Count Smokula lives with his grandfather Vlad in their ancestor’s castle and throughout the season we are introduced to their friends, enemies, and potential soul mates as Count Smokula tries his ancient hand at Internet dating websites. Smokula teaches the audience about a wide variety of his trades, from music, science and art to philosophy, piracy and magic. Among the guests in the first season are George Clinton, Gerry Casale (DEVO) and Tom Green.

The series will also feature new Count Smokula musical numbers and music videos. Premiering August 4th, a new episode will air every Tuesday.

ALL Alone with Neil Hamburger!

America’s Funnyman has entertained audiences all across the globe with his unique spin on current events, pop culture and general social commentary. He has hosted a critically acclaimed television show from comedian Tom Green’s house and has opened Madison Square Garden for Tenacious D. Unfortunately; he has cancer and is going to die. :(

ALL Alone chronicles the potential last stand-up tour of his career as he travels across the US seeking common ground with another sentient being. This eight part series chronicles the comedian as he deals with undependable travel itinerary, ungrateful fans and the deeply felt (and expressed) reality that nobody will ever relate to him, as he has to rely on shilling his soul for ‘Gay Cigarettes’ and ‘New Age’ hair gel.

Caution to the attentive: ALL Alone should not be viewed by the depressed or the especially young. Airing August 5th for 8 weeks.

The Real UHF will also feature a collection of amazing productions from around the globe.
