Matt Johnson (C'99, Mask and Wig, Phi Kappa Sigma) has been a favorite of mine on DT as he continues to crank out some very funny videos of which he has been producing, directing and even starring in.
This week, I want to showcase another very funny and very absurd short Matt directed for a group called The Apple Sisters. What you're about to see is a "commercial" for one of the "sponsors" of the Apple Sisters' 1943 radio show.
After watching this, I don't think you'll ever want to eat corn again.
Read more about Matt's road after Penn and how he his sketch comedy group got a development deal with a network!

This week Steven Vaughn-Lewis (C'12) just got his acceptance letter into Penn and he filmed it!Alumni and undergrads chime in on why they chose Penn. Read their responses here!
Watch a group of Penn 2012 (new) admits check out (and hope for eventually living in) the Quad during "Penn Previews"I remember getting my acceptance letter for both Penn and Cornell in the same day. I was so excited, and such a dork, that I remember wearing a Penn sweatshirt the next day to high school with my Cornell sweatpants. While I was proud of these acceptances, I cringe at how I decided to showcase this to the world.
Of course it was that day when I officially adhered my "University of Pennsylvania" sticker to my car's windshield. (...Come on, we all did this didn't we? :) Comment below!)More about this year's increase admit rate and the possible reasons behind it

Todd Lieberman (C'95, AEPi, Mask & Wig) will be producing a new film for Disney entitled Self-Guided.
Per the Hollywood Reporter, "the story centers on a man who magically goes back to high school as a guidance counselor to give advice to his younger self."
The funny thing about this film is that Jared Stern, a talented guy with whom I went to high school wrote this script and it's supposedly set in my hometown, "The Five Towns". Add this to the other films set in my hometown: Married to the Mob (opening train track sequence) and Amongst Friends.
Todd is a busy man these days. He's currently in Boston prepping two big films The Proposal starring Ryan Reynolds and Sandra Bullock, and The Surrogates, starring Bruce Willis.
