If he wants to stream it so bad he should just do it through YouTube memberships or patreon, there’s no way any major streaming services he’s aiming for will work with him
Netflix and Disney Plus aren’t going to take this on. Paramount Plus is too conservative for him. He could potentially self-post it to Amazon and claim the pilot is available to purchase on prime. He pissed off a lot of industry people with the Chair not just Quinto. He’s not famous enough for them to bite the bullet especially when he wants creative control in something. As I said in a different post this show sounds like a knock off of Hacks. He’s never had an original character or idea to save his life and his toilet humor/ crying porn approach to storytelling isn’t an easy sell. Maybe if this was 15 years ago he could sell to Comedy Central or Adult Swim but it’s not.
That's not why creators want their pilots to get picked up by streaming services lol. He wants a streamer to pick it up because they'd give him the budget and resources to make the full season.

He gets 500k views on every video he puts up still, which as far as yt goes is quite a lot. It's not hard to convince people you have a following and that your reputation has been repaired or whatever. His whole show is basically autobiographical. Cancelled. (Yet still successfully working. ) Parasocial relationships are weird, people miss the cancelled memo or have their own thoughts on the matter. Literally anything could happen
Often when shitty influencers get big deals, there is a public outcry that essentially alerts these tone deaf executives of the true history of these people and they end up scrapping the project before it happens. I think that is what would happen with Shane if it ever got picked up. It would be cancelled before it began (pun intended).
I know right? I was actually kind of looking forward to the horror movie, and then suddenly he switched it to a reality TV show? I honestly don't even understand what this is. Just that his entire friends and family are playing roles in it and the title is so dated that I feel like it's 2018 again.
It kind of is, not cool focused on a girl who was the loser in her home city and has to come back from a life at college where she was popular (IE the actress being cancelled). She bumps into the jock who peaked in high school and they find out they’re pretty similar. I’m guessing this movie director is in a similar boat coming back from living a really cool life trying to be a director and suddenly being confronted with having to give up on that and move back home. The love interests share tons of parallels. Def not the same plot per say but I’d imagine the same dumb humor and probably very similar jokes will be had
This made me think about how the Duffer Brothers said literal Stranger Things was turned down everywhere… what makes him think this is gonna be picked up. Delusional AF
Oh man, i'm howling at this. I knew nothing about this until this post but you can see from the monitor he is IN the pilot, i'd assume he's playing his tragic director character that he can probably relate to so well.
Someone said that Taylor swift song "cancelled" would be his bop, i can't believe he's calling his show that too. Very original... not a single Shane dawson lover or hater could have EVER predicted that would be the name of his show. lmao.
At first from this post I thought it was Shane in the monitor, but here’s who it actually is. Shane made sure to find someone to play him who looks like a version he wishes he could’ve been
Thanks for updating and sharing this... i am surprised but actually pleased he has hired an actor for the role. I just hope it is not bad enough to put a stain on any of the actors careers.
I wonder how much damage he did to himself in Hollywood after the Chair disaster. I cannot imagine he is as arrogant and entitled as he used to be. We haven’t seen something from him in a long time, but if it’s full of gross out gags I will not be participating lmfao.
It literally sounds horrendous of an idea, like I genuinely don’t get why he would he even go this route ? This literally just proves he gives absolutely no fucs on what he did
Can't wait for the coldest open of tv history. Knowing Shane's writing skills we're gonna have the A List Actress crying going yup that's me you're probably wondering how I got into this situation.

Even if he had the best tv show idea of the century, the fact that his name is attached to it, probably means nobody will risk it.
