YouTube is redefining what we think of comedy - it is "open source" comedy.
NY Times reports that "With help from a programmer friend, (Ze Frank) set up the comedy-writing equivalent of a Wikipedia page — an online site where anyone could write a joke and edit or even delete the jokes of others — and told his viewing public that if they were so brilliant, they could collaborate to write a script for his show. If they did so, Mr. Frank promised, he would faithfully execute it, no matter how absurd, and post the resulting video on his site."
Budding Richard Pryors and Jay Lenos can hone their skills - without giving up their day (or night) jobs!
