MIKE DOE Entertainment Announces The Intern Bob Nationwide Talent Search!
October 7, 2007
Washington, DC -- The national headquarters of the international comedy entity formally known as MIKE DOE Entertainment Inc., which includes but is not limited to the standup comedy, satiric rants, Twitter twatter, comedy writing, radio showmanship, humorous song parodies and, yes, even thespian and cinematic masterpieces inspired and/or created by comedic genius Mike Doe and his official fan club, the DOE-NUTS, is announcing the first-of-its-kind nationwide talent search for a comedic sidekick to fill the position of INTERN BOB, the official unpaid sidekick, personal assistant and all-around-flunky for comedy legend Mike Doe.
The INTERN BOB NATIONWIDE TALENT SEARCH will be intensive and extensive, and include significant if not overwhelming pain, suffering, humiliation, groveling and/or laughter, as well as the near certainty of immediate fame, not fortune, and include appearances on national radio, television and podcasting shows, not to mention other upsides of instant celebrity: autograph-seeking fans, crazed stalkers and, knock on wood, a few hundred, if not thousands of morally suggestible groupies.
Needless to say, this is everything a comedy intern could possibly want so the competition will be fierce, if not brutal. To be considered, send a brief email telling MIKE DOE Entertainment Inc. in-depth and in some detail why you are the MAN or, yes, WOMAN for the job and describing your personal assistant and/or comedy experience, including links to writing, blogging, podcasting and thespianship samples as well to mikedoenet (at) gmail.com. Members of the media may also use the same email address and all requests for media appearances will be directed to the appropriate channels, with greater priority, of course, given to those requests which include the requisite degree of groveling and the promise of gift baskets, goodies or greenbacks laid aside for Mike Doe in the green room prior to said appearance.

Yo Mike Dizzle, I think your funny as hell and I'd like to apply for the position. I make good coffee, and my socks always match. Also, if you ever need someone to shuffle cards for you, I'm your man. My real name is Peter, but I just went and changed it to Bob so that I could apply legit. Whadya say, my man?
What can I say, Bob? You clearly have great taste. Coffee-making is about 80-85% of the job, so this is good for your candidacy. Your legal name change demonstrates just the kind of commitment we're looking for. Plus you made the entire MDE Inc. staff laugh so that's a good sign.
Now the real question, Bob, is whether you can you handle all the fame and glory that will inevitably come your way?
Dude, I dunno. Fame AND glory? Can't I just have one or the other? I don't want any jealous wackos trying to off me in my sleep--that is if my only claim to fame is beng a funny guys intern.
Maybe you could give me a more glamorous title, like "Special Assistant to the Doe," and then I might feel justified taking on the burdens of both fame and glory.
