Zach Broussard Is Trying to Make a ‘Sorta Marathon’ So Everyone Can “Run a Marathon”

September 12, 2017

Zach Broussard has spent a good deal of time and resources for large scale silly projects, which always peaks our interest. 

His latest endeavor is taking marathons down a peg or, more accurately, making them way shorter so anyone really can say that they ran a marathon.

What he has dubbed the “New York Sorta Marathon” will be a race, if it raises $8K by next Friday, that’s so short that most people on Earth could finish it without any training or even breaking a sweat.

See how short it is in this Kickstarter video. Also, take note of the great stretch goal of being able to pay a professional marathoner to finish last.

Earlier today, a mysterious link was tweeted out about a live Rick and Morty event this Thursday somewhere in the LA area. Unsurprisingly, tickets to the live event were sold out. 

Fret not for those unable to get tickets or not in the LA area. The live event (though its not clear what it is outside of it involving the “Rick and Morty team”) will be live streamed on adultswim.com/streams at 6PM PST on Thursday, June 29th.

Ahead of that, all two seasons of Rick and Morty will be streamed also at adultswim.com/streams starting at 3AM PST that same day.

Don’t think so? Watch it the announcement from Adult Swim’s YouTube channel.

Not only is TBS is changing up their programming and branding, they’re also thinking outside the box with their actual schedule.

The long wait for TBS’ police procedural comedy Angie Tribeca starring Rashida Jones will have not been in vain. 

Come Sun. Jan. 17th at 9PM and going to Mon. Jan. 18th at 10PM, the entire first season will air five times in a row, back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back.

The following Monday, Jan. 25th, at 9:30PM, will see the premiere of season 2 of Angie Tribeca and amount to a total of twenty episodes between both seasons in the span of an entire TV season.

We’re not making this up as you can clearly see by this TBS promo.

They started at 3PM yesterday and will take no breaks in watching the entirety of Entourage, then go see the Entourage movie.

You can watch the whole thing in action live.

Gil Ozeri and some of his friends including Adam Pally, Scott Aukerman, Jack McBrayer, Joe Mande, Wendy Molyneux (who raised money to be forced to see the Entourage movie), Steve Agee, Megan Neuringer have stopped by to join in on the test of endurance that is watching and riffing off of the entire Entourage series.

So far, there has been a real turtle that they put a Yankees cap on, keeping count of very specific Entourage-isms like every time E is wrong/a dog hates women/etc., and kicking the whole thing off with a children’s choir. 

Catch up and tune into what Gil and, as of this post, John Levenstein, Scott Aukerman, Adam Pally, and more try to close out season 3 here.

Saturday Night Live is currently in its 40th season and VH1 Classic is marking the occasion by putting on the biggest single marathon of a series ever.

433 hours of SNL will air on the network starting Jan. 28th. FXx’s Simpsons marathon only spanned 12 days, which would come out to only at 298 hours maximum. 

The SNL Rewind:  2015 – 1975 Mega-Marathon will visit every single one of the 39 past seasons of the legendary live sketch variety show, which, for our money, means we’ll probably get to watch every bit of Celebrity Jeopardy again.

FXx to Launch Simpsons Syndication with 12 Day Marathon

If, for some reason, you haven’t gotten The Simpsons on DVD box sets, you’ll be happy to know that in moving into syndication on FXx, there will be a 12 day marathon of The Simpsons to start it off. 

We’ll see what the record books say afterwards, but, as far as we can tell, this would indeed be, as FX’s Jon Landgraf says, the longest continuous TV marathon in history.
