Authored by Mark Hefflinger on September 30, 2005 - 2:50am.
San Francisco - Wired News on Friday reported on how three Los Angles-based comedians used Web distribution of short-form content with Creative Commons licenses to land performing and writing gigs on the upcoming 31st season of "Saturday Night Live." Andy Samberg, Jorma Taccone and Akiva Schaffer -- all members of the Lonely Island comedy collective -- produced cheap Web comedy series like "The 'Bu" and "Awesometown," and songs including "Ka-Blammo," some of which were featured on IFilm.com.
