24 Hours Of Human Giant
It's been a long time since I've been interested in something MTV is doing, but here we are.
Aziz let the world know a few days ago:
Last week, MTV told us we could get 24 hours on MTV and MTV2 to do whatever we want. So this Friday at noon - we'll take over both channels for a full day and will host live from MTV's Times Square studio. They're literally letting us do whatever we want - we can program whatever shows we want, have guests, bands, music videos, anything! We just have to stay up for 24 hours and get a million hits on our website.
It is, perhaps, the smartest movie MTV has made in ages. Someone deserves a raise for taking the chance on programming rather than airing another day of My Super Sweet 16 meta-shows.
For whatever it's worth, I am scheduled to be in the audience from 5AM Saturday morning through the end of the ordeal. That's right, I am getting up at 3 AM so I can go sit in the MTV studio for seven hours.
If you're up tomorrow morning, tune into MTV. Watch me squirm uncomfortably live on cable!
Otherwise, there are clips up on the MTV Human Giant site.

Aww, had I seen this and known you’d be on television, I would’ve watched it. Unfortunately, I was too busy NOT watching MTV for 24 hours. You don’t know how difficult a task like that can be for me.
