HOLLYWOOD, Feb. 3, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Twitters (Critics) are raving about Kelsey Grammer's dive into social media. His new comedy show is an example of just that as he steps out of his traditional TV endeavors and rolls right into the Internet in a Big Way! Kelsey's first project is with Bill Zucker, a social media funny man, who is riding high on the success of “The TARP Song” as seen on TV (CNBC, FOX, VH1 and others) and now “The Twitter Song” which was voted on and won The #1 YouTube Comedy Video of 2009.

Kesley met Bill last month on Twitter, a microblogging service made popular in Hollywood by other well know celebrities like Ashton Kutcher and Ellen Degeneres who each have millions of Followers on Twitter.

"It's amazing how fast this social media works," says Kelsey. After exchanging several tweets Kelsey invited Bill to Hollywood and as the old adage goes "The Rest is History."

“It’s a wild ride,” says Zucker who recently started a Twitter account and already has over 60,000 followers. “I’m a regular American living a dream of singing songs and making people laugh,” he added. “I saw Twitter as a platform to share my music by meeting as many people as possible and now I’m off to Hollywood to work with Kelsey Grammer.” Zucker placed 4th in the “Best of Twitter 2009” category surpassing Jonas Brothers, Hannah Montana, and Taylor Swift among many others. He is ranked 28th of the “Most Influential” people on Twitter just behind President Barack Obama at 27 and P. Diddy at 33.

The show premiers February 17th on www.KelseyLive.com, the first branded social television network powered by TODHD. Special guests for the new show include Corbin Bleu, Star of Disney’s "High School Musical," Scott Baio of "Happy Days" and "Charles in Charge" fame, Matt Williams of the Arizona Diamondbacks and features the music of Jazz Legend Stanley Clarke and his band.

TODHD’s social TV network is the future combining the power of social networking and television. “Social networking and TV will work together, allowing consumers to connect through their big screens,” writes Steve Rubel of Forbes. Robert Tercek, president of digital media for the Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN) launching January 2011, sees social networking immediately adding value to the traditional viewing experience. Social TV, more so than the Web, "could provide the right vehicle for advertisers who want to combine the reach and audio-visual power of television with the engagement and two-way dialogue offered by social media."

Kelsey is moving to New York as he prepares to Star and make his Broadway Musical debut in La Cage Aux Folles opening on April 18th.

Bill currently resides in South Florida. His latest two new CDs, “Every Window” & “Stranded,” are available at www.BillZucker.com.
