One Small Step for Karen/Conan O'Brien, One Large Step for YouTube!

It's an online movement.

Just how far does the power of the internet reach? I mean we got Betty White to host SNL, we got Nikki and Poulo kicked off of Lost (which I can't say that happy about, GO NIKKI AND POULO!!!), we helped to get Lady Gaga where she is today, our constant tweets about Haiti/Red Cross text messages contributed to one of the biggest relief aid packages, we even made sure a little lady named Rosa Parks stood up for what she believed in (huh?). What are we trying to do now? Get Spricket24 to host her YouTube show with none other than the leading ginger in charge Conan O'Brien!



Posted March 11, 2010, Karen Alloy (as her more intimate fans know her as) is a single mother of 3 who knows EXACTLY what she wants. And he just so happens to be stopping by Minnesota soon to preform in his new tour, fresh out of his Team Coco escapades. If you haven't seen this movement in action yet, lets do a little experiment.

Log onto twitter. Go to the search tool. Type in @conanobrien. Look at how many of them have something to do with someone by the name of @karenalloy. A lot? That's what I thought. Now, why am I taking concern for this project? Why should you care about this? I'll try to make it somewhat easy.

We're all a part of something called, "The Internet", or "New Media". "Traditional media" (aka Television, Film, etc) doesn't exactly know a lot about this, "New Media". So, what better way to merge these two GIANT forces than by taking Conan ("Traditional Media") and Karen ("New Media") and having him come on Karen's YouTube Show!

To me, this means a lot. It means that as someone who believes so heavily in the benefits of this online community (between facebook, youtube, twitter, blogger, etc), I will one day not have to worry about talking to someone face to face about a show I had seen online, or a YouTuber I just subscribed to, or a new blog I'm following, or how many twitter followers I have (I hate to use the word "in real life", because online is just as real as anything else). If we are successful in bringing Conan and Karen together for the purpose of creating one of her episodes starring him, we can be one step closer to making "The Internet" into something other than the scarlet letter that the news has deemed it in recent years.

So, how can you help? There's a couple of ways:

1- Log onto twitter and tweet this "RT Hey @ConanOBrien Please watch @KarenAlloy vid http://bit.ly/9tsU6U #ConanandKaren"

2- When tweeting, use the hashtag #conanandkaren

3- Write a blog post just like this to spread the word.


4- Join the Facebook Fan Page "http://www.facebook.com/pages/Conan-and-Karen-the-Happy-Happy-Redhead-Youtube-Spectacular/397638455405"

5- Do something that you think will get Conan's attention for this cause.




If you follow these 5 steps, we can become one step closer in lowering the boundary between New and Old Media! Do you part to bring together Team Coco and Karen together!


If this becomes a reality, which I believe that it will one day be, I thought of a question I would ask Conan through the wonderful Karen Alloy. "Conan, where do you see the internet and new media in 20 years?"


Good luck Karen!!!
