CNBC hosts Internet Nobodies to Internet Celebs show

Tonight on CNBC, Donny "I like to hold my glasses to look smart" Deutsch had "Internet Nobodies to Instant Celebs" on. He tries to come across as someone who really understands the Internet. No idea if it's for real or just a show.

I am guessing this will be on CNBC International or on YouTube at some point. (actually if you are on the west coast it's on at 10pm I understand and 12am on the east coast)

The guests on the show included:

• The two mentos guys - $35k in revenue from the videos so far
• Lisa Donovan - "used YouTube to become a star" (she had the longest segment by far)
• Liam Sullivan - "created comedy shows on YouTube and now gets paid by iTunes
• Gary Broslsma - "created Numa Numa on YouTube" - 15 million plays
• Brooke Parkhurst - turned blog into a book deal and a Conde Nast Deal
• Amanda Congdon - her segment was literally 90 seconds max - considering she hyped the heck out of this, it must be a shock to her about what they actually showed.
• John Vesely - was able to turn a MySpace album into a best-selling album with over 18 million plays on MySpace
• Brent Weinstein - his firm UTA is looking for online talent to help make people into celebs (they represent Ask A Ninja)

Overall, I thought the show was well done but could have used another 30-60 minutes as it felt very rushed. Give these people a chance to explain how they did what they did, but more importantly what they are doing now and where they are going.

Also, I think we all need to remember our audience. I just can't speak about this enough. When you get the chance to sit on TV in the real world, make sure you remember that most people watching are not Internet geeks. I can only guess that the name Nick Denton means nothing to most CNBC viewers.
