Ex-Rocketboom’s Congdon Signs With L.A. Agency

A few updates on the Rocketboom-Amanda Congdon saga.

Via Micropersuasion:

I received an anonymous tip that Amanda Congdon has signed with the Endeavor Agency. … The Endeavor talent agency is so cool it doesn’t have a Web site. According to Wikipedia, they represent many television and film stars, including Tina Fey, Lisa Kudrow, Chris Rock, Adam Sandler and other heavy hitters.

ValleyWag:

She’s talking to Noah Bonnett, creator of the other babe-hosted vlog 88slide, about hosting a show that may get shown on MTV as an interstitial.

Eat the Press:

“I’ve never seen a frenzy like this over an internet star.”

Meanwhile, ‘boom-heads are still sweating out the debut of Congdon’s replacement.
