Default Denis Leary now pitching Hulu

Watching TV tonight, saw a commercial starring Dennis Leary for Hulu. I guess Hulu's going all out with their add budget these days, and I still haven't figured out how they're making money. Anyway, Leary is one of my favorite comedians of all time. Nobody can roast em like he can too.

Alec Baldwin is pitching Hulu, too. Some other stars are also involved. Hulu has become big, big stuff in recent months. I gotta wonder if there's gonna be a catch by the time they're through.

They've hired big named actors, bought sponsorship spots during the superbowl, and have gotten almost all of the nteworks to sign deals with them for providing their shows online. All of this in such a short amount of time. Too bad I didn't think of it first.

Default Denis holding live online chat Wed 6/3 at 3 pm

It's not a bad ad, although I think I like the Seth Macfarlane one better. But ironically, Denis is holding a live online chat on Fancast (Hulu's competition) on Wed. June 3 at 3 pm ET/noon Pacific about Rescue Me.

Live Chat With 'Rescue Me' Co-Creators And Executive Producers Denis Leary And Peter Tolan | Fancast News

He will be joined by the show's co-creator, Peter Tolan, so all are invited to stop by and chat live with Denis - it should be fun!

Jim (for Fancast)

Usually it's not the intial idea that makes the money, it's the process of turning the simple idea in a money machine via promotion and marketing. which is where most businesses fail
