Thank you very much to everyone who watched my appreance on PANORAMA on July 16 in Britain! Thanks especially to SoEmoChris and SMatthias of YouTube! Two great friends from the UK who recorded and posted the "Sweeney" footage with my interview and video clip: Yay!!! Matt Hawes www.TheHappyShow.net

The video below has the info. Yep, the PANORAMA BBC-1 appearance of Matt & Happy from "The Happy Show!" is back on schedule: Matt Hawes www.TheHappyShow.net

The episode of BBC-1's "Panorama" that has a brief interview with Matt Hawes and Happy the puppet from "The Happy Show!" has been postponed because "Panorama" ran a more timely episode in the spot. It is going to reschedule the episode with Matt & Happy's interview for another date. Details will be announced when the episode is scheduled.

THE SCOOP: Almost two months ago, the BBC-1 program named "Panorama" sent out its' reporter, John Sweeney, to investigate the Church of Scientology. During the course of his investigation, Sweeney lost his temper and went on a rant against members of that church that was soon distributed by video on the Web. It made headline news around the world. I thought that it was just insane how this investigative journalist could blow his cool like that and on camera, no less. I couldn't resist spoofing Sweeney in a video for "The Happy Show!," my public access comedy-variety program. Here is a link to that spoof: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bnooQDYQuG8 Not long after my video was available for viewing on the Net, I was contacted by a staff member from "Panorama" named Pervez Khan. Mr. Khan explained that "Panorama" was doing a follow-up on the media story surrounding Sweeney's outburst, and asked if I'd like to be interviewed for the sh...

To: The Honorable Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger Paris Whitney Hilton is an American tradgedy and spoiled heiress. She provides a horrible example for young people all over the U.S. and the world. She is the embodiment of all that represents the worst of the cult of celebrity. She is famous simply because of her family's wealth and believes that she should be above the law because of her fame and fortune. Hilton is notable for projecting her image as a spolied socialite on the FOX reality series "The Simple Life." In addition to her work as an actress, she has achieved some infamy for a well-known sex video that has circulated on the internet. As most of America now knows, Ms. Hilton was just charged in a Los Angeles court with DUI and sentenced to 45 days in Century Regional Detention Facility in California beginning on or before June 5, 2007. We, the American public who reject Paris and her lifestyle and the negative impact she has on the youth of America (and, indeed, ...

Hi gang! VERY COOL! STAN LEE, legendary co-creator of such iconic comic book and pop-culture icons, SPIDER-MAN, THE INCREDIBLE HULK, and THE FANTASTIC FOUR, has watched one of my videos from "The HAPPY SHOW!" This is the video he watched: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y26EmSDHXh4 I was contacted by a person working for STAN LEE at POW! ENTERTAINMENT, Stan's company, who told me Stan really enjoyed the video and wanted to know where I got the pictures used in the video. The video features many vintage photos of the original production staff (known affectionately as "The Marvel Bullpen") from the 1960s. I gathered the photos from various sites on the 'Net, and some with the help of some great people on the JOHN BYRNE FORUM (www.byrnerobotics.com), who came to bat when I explained which photos I was looking for. Stan says he is always having people ask him if he has any photos of the old gang at Marvel, and that's why his people contacted me. I sent Stan a...

Hi gang! I put up a few items on eBay. There's the rare variant cover to "Ultimate Spider-Man" #104 (One out of a hundred copies had this cover), and a "Civil War" #7 variant, as well as a John Wayne comic, a Three Stooges comic, a special comic produced by Marvel Comics for the military, and two different pieces of original artwork by your's truly. Both pieces of art are pictures of Spawn. One is my first attempt at the character from 1994, and the second is my second attempt many years later (I feel so old) in 2007, as a "Quick Draw" for my public access program, "The Happy Show!" Please check 'em out and bid if you would like: http://cgi3.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewUserPage&userid=comicsunlimited Thanks! -- Matt

You may recall that I sent out links to my videos on YouTube where I talked about the situation where the media giant, VIACOM, had YouTube removed over 100,000 videos claiming that the videos infringed on copyrights the corporation owned. You may also recall that I fought the removal of my video, which was caught up in the sweep. My video was a parody of reality television and did not infringe on any copyrights. I wrote to Viacom, YouTube, and even the Associated Press, protesting the action by Viacom and YouTube. I was contacted days later by MTV's legal department (MTV is one of Viacom's many cable networks), and they had reviewed my video and found that it was taken down in error. The video was put back up, and the strike I had received against my YouTube account was removed. Well, I was contacted by Catherine Holahan of "Business Week" for an interview for an article for their website. I granted the interview and it was put up today. Here is the link to that inter...
