yay for neigh

Hey, did you know we were doing this?

So, once upon a time I worked for a comedy website and sometimes it was good and sometimes it was bad and sometimes it was Great. There are way, way too many things that fall into the “good bucket” to remember or name right now, and the things that fall into the “bad bucket,” have honestly, blissfully, been mostly forgotten. So I won’t talk about those two buckets. But, one of the things that lives in the “Great bucket” is a show I got to make with my friends where we sat around playfully arguing with each other about movies and TV shows. It’s a little internet show I made with my friends that was seen by… some amount of people, and one that people still ask me about, three years after its last episode aired and (almost exactly) ten years after its first.

I’m not going to name the show— the show I did with After Hours’s Michael Swaim, After Hours’s Katie Willert and After Hours’s Soren Bowie— in part because I don’t want to run into any legal trouble by talking about a property I do not own, but also because I think being coy and sneaky is fun. Suffice it to say that Jack O’Brien (no relation) and I (relation) made a night time pop culture show with our pals and had a blast doing it.

A thing that is obvious to anyone who followed this show is that it ended, somewhat unceremoniously, when a bunch of nice people and also me all lost their jobs without warning. A thing that might be less obvious is that a soft series finale was actually written (and filmed) for this show. An episode where Katie, Michael, Soren and I get together to talk about pop culture one last time and say goodbye to each other (and, uh, you, I guess).

That episode never aired and there was subsequently never a plan to air it. Everyone went their separate ways, willingly or unwillingly and that, all assumed, was that.

But now it’s the present, where people are using their platforms big and small to try to make the world a better place and we thought, maybe, with everything going on, this might be a good time to use our platforms to read the series finale of Aft[Redacted]r H[Redacted]rs to raise some money for charity.

The details are in that flier. We’re going to read this script live on Twitch this Saturday and answer some questions from you, the audience. It will be free, but we hope that you donate anyway. It will be available on YouTube after and forever, in case you miss it (follow any of us on Twitter and we’ll tweet out the link when it’s available).

The warmth from the fanbase and community that sprouted up around this unnamed show was more surprising and incredible than anything else I’d experienced, before or After. Ours was a supportive community of spirited weirdos who could always be counted on to watch the show, travel to come see our live performances and occasionally stop us on the street to shout “Hey, I know you! CollegeHumor, right?” We hope you’ll join us one last time to say goodbye and hopefully raise some damn money to make the world a little less worse.
