Peter Zottolo, the zany, charmingly left-of-center video blogger who has helped to propel Sightspeed to much good fortune, has just taken his video exploits to the next level. Until now, you could catch the Sightspeed Guy’s short, topical quips on YouTube or via Sightspeed’s own page. (My favorite one is the one where he’s griping about how his dog got mauled while on a walk.)

But now, it appears, some Hollywood types have noticed the Guy, and he’s going to be featured on a new ‘fake news’ program being aired by DirecTV. Fizz Newzz will air every other Sunday beginning on Feb. 18 on DirecTV channel 101.

What does this mean for the denizens of YouTube? Are there more stars to be made?  See how the democratized web rewards the real winners out there? Are you listening, Apple?

Go get ‘em, Peter!
