Almost (Tangentially) Famous

A couple of years ago we helped the College of William & Mary redesign their website. For their creative we aimed for an approach that blended the sensibilities of their two most famous alumni—Thomas Jefferson and Jon Stewart. Last week on the Daily Show, Jon Stewart spent some time teasing W&M about their new mascot (the Griffin) and he used the website as a prop to help him do it.

The clip (embedded below) is vintage Stewart—irreverent, self-effacing, borderline offensive, and completely hysterical. If you’re OK with a bit of good-natured genitalia humor, push the play button.

Personally speaking this is the first time a web project I’ve been a part of has landed on TV—which is pretty cool in and of itself. But ending up (however tangentially) on one of my all-time favorite shows with one of my all-time favorite clients is really, really special. I’m a happy camper.
