Carson Daly’s ‘New Cutting Edge Internet Project’

Carson Daly loves Internet video. So much so, in fact, that the NBC late late night talk show host has announced yet another project involving online video, albeit with the sort of flowery, “we’re innovating” language that might make other Internet video pioneers, like Al Gore, bristle:

NBC and Carson Daly have created “It’s Your Show” — a rewarding interactive project that encourages viewers to submit their own storytelling videos with the chance to win $100,000. Just like he signed Internet phenom Brookers, Carson is actively searching for the next wave of stars from the Internet.

It’s the wave of the future and the future is here.

A contest for amateur auteurs — we’ve never heard of anything like that before.

Note: A TV version of “It’s Your Show” is currently in development with Daly set to host.
