THE BEST "STAR HUSTLER" (now "Star Gazer") PARODY YOU WILL EVER SEE

And probably the only. Well, ok it's not. I just googled "STAR HUSTLER" PARODY and found one other on youtube. But that is IT. Just the one. And to be fair, ours is much better. Although technically, it's probably more of a satire than a parody.

I refuse to accept the new name Star Gazer. JE REFUSE!

Welcome to "Starry Starry Guy" ep. 1

This is the unofficial nonsense companion to the successful Jack Horkheimer PBS series of late night interstitials, "The Star Hustler," which both Dan Bialek and I grew up watching.

About 7 years ago we shot this in front of a giant green screen a warehouse in L.A. we snuck into. But then we got distracted for seven years and forgot to edit it. I finally did. Yesterday. There are three of these so far. They get really dark. Too dark maybe but maybe not. But they're also really funny. Not too funny. "Just right" funny.

Here's the deal: In our Starry Starry Guy, Telescope Tim relays absurd non-facts while also slowly being undermined by his graphics department in later episodes. That's all that happens. None are longer than a minute or two and if you even know what this is an homage to, you ahttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifre a giant nerd. Bless you.

Enjoy, Hork-dorks!

And if you're looking for the real Jack, here's his weekly installment of the Star Gazer series (ok, I stopped refusing) done in conjunction with the Miami Museum of Science.
