Gregg Spiridellis of JibJab on The Great Sketch Experiment

JibJab has been making people laugh for the past seven years with quirky comedy shorts and clever political cartoons. During the last Presidential election, they made headlines with a cartoon duo of John Kerry and George Bush taking political shots at each other to the tune of This Land is Your Land. A trip to The Tonight Show and several great political comedies later, the founding brothers Gregg and Evan Spiridellis and their team of JibJabbers in Santa Monica concocted a plan to introduce unknown comedy writing talent to one of the funniest directors in Hollywood, John Landis. The Great Sketch Experiment puts John Landis directing 6 talented teams in 6 police themed shorts. Viewers get to vote on their favorite, with the winning short getting an endowment from JibJab to do a bigger project (as if working with John Landis isn’t enough). Here Chris speaks with Gregg Spiridellis about the history of JibJab, being funny on the Internet and gets the lowdown on the six short films that in The Great Sketch Experiment.
