The NewTeeVee Friday Roundup

Here’s some stuff that might not warrant full posts, but worth a look before you honor our Presidents by goofing off the rest of the weekend:

The ‘conservative’ answer to The Daily Show, “The 1/2 Hour Comedy Hour,” was leaked to YouTube. You may have to turn up the volume to hear it over the crickets. [Reel Pop]

To capitalize on the news coming from the 3GSM Summit in Barcelona, Sundance is offering video shorts via MMS. Because nothing says “cutting edge new technology” like singing cowboy musicals. [The Daily Reel]

I’ve been too busy trying to keep up with news about pipes to actually play with the software, but cool mashups are already surfacing like this tool to pull YouTube clips from the iTunes top 10 list. [LifeHacker]

CinemaTech’s Scott Kirsner appears in the New York Times, writing about making money with online video. I’d make the easy joke about their ‘Circuits’ section, but I’m angling for my own Times byline someday. [New York Times]

Web video search service blinkx is partnering with video sharing sites like a polyamorist at a swinger’s convention in Vegas — JumpTV, Blip.tv BlipTV.com and Veoh have all joined up. [release, release, release]
