First Youtuber to Get TV Deal from Vlog

Brooke "Brookers" Brodack has become the first person to get picked up from YouTube by a recongised Hollywood producer after being signed earlier this month to an 18-month talent and development deal with Carson Daly Productions. The video blogger (vlogger) has gained several million views for videos which include Crazed Numa Fan, a gobledegook homage to another Internet viral hit - Gary Brolsma's Numa Numa.

"The Internet has become a new platform for identifying emerging artists such as Brookers. I hope to give her the opportunity to expose her talent on a much larger scale," Carson Daly, former MTV presenter and host of NBC's late-night show "Last Call," told Variety

"Several things immediately caught my eye watching her videos," Daly said. "She's got a fresh point of view, considerable directing skills and a great sense of music and how to use it. There is potential for Webisodes, mobile series and definitely a great TV show here. She'll be an exciting package to present to networks"

"I just love it that no middleman is involved," Daly told the LA Times. "There's no agent, nothing. The pipeline is direct. I think it's going to exponentially change how the business is run."
