"Starring Amanda Congon" debuts tomorrow
Amanda Congdon, née of Rocketboom and current ABC news correspondent, will debut a new online show tomorrow. The show, "Starring Amanda Congdon," will be a behind-the-scenes look at Amanda's life in LA "as she juggles new projects in the
traditional and new media."
Congdon's show will be sponsored by a new Dove product and by video chat company Paltalk. Blip.tv, which we profiled here, is hosting the show, and they'll be splitting ad revenue with Congdon 50/50.
It's a testament to Amanda's stature as a video personality that she's already corralled sponsors for a show that, apparently, isn't about anything except her day-to-day life. That's not to belittle Amanda's 24/7, which is surely a hurly-burly hodgepodge of media interactions. On the contrary, the show is attractive because it is essentially a user-generated paradise.
Think about the ideal that Amanda represents: Not only can you become a star creating your own videoblog, but that stardom is so interest-worthy that you can parlay it into a show that's about nothing more than -- you guessed it -- creating shows. Amanda Congdon is a matryoshka doll of marketability. She's the Seinfeld of videblogging.
You're obsessed with Congdon. You're obsessed with Congdon. Two hotty photos in recent posts.

In my defense, I defy you to find an unattractive photo of the lass. :)
