What's so funny? Submit your skit ideas for Friday’s LIVE online improv show
This Friday, you’re in control of the action for HP ePrint Live, a two-hour live improv comedy show streaming on YouTube. Host Rob Riggle (The Hangover, The Daily Show With Jon Stewart) and actors from the Upright Citizen’s Brigade Theatre will act out skits based on viewer suggestions sent to one of the printers on stage, performing it live in front of millions of YouTube viewers.
On the day of the show (January 21) send a note, a picture, a song, a drawing (whatever strikes you!) to the HP Web-connected printer at ideas@hpeprintlive.com and actors from the UCB Theatre will use the ideas to create original comedy in real time. Maybe you want to see what would happen if humans lived underwater, or perhaps you have a great photo of your dog and you want to know what his stream of consciousness sounds like. However hilarious, twisted or downright goofy your idea is, simply ePrint it and watch www.youtube.com/hpeprintlive, on January 21, 3 p.m. ET, to see it come to life. Include your Twitter and you might just get a special shout out! If your submission is chosen, you’ll receive a link to your personal video over email. The skit will also be posted online at the HP ePrint Live YouTube channel and on HP’s Home Facebook page.
Fear not, if your submission is not selected, keep sending through January 26. Members of UCB Theatre will continue to accept ideas to create custom comedy shorts period, with a different theme and setting each day, including the home (day 1), office (day 2), school (day 3), travel (day 4) and “anything goes” (day 5). These will all be posted on the channel just as soon as they are created.
Start thinking about what scenarios you’d like to see performed on the show. ePrint them on January 21 and don’t forget to tune in LIVE.

Let us use the classic homepage format, Im subscribed to alot of diffrent people and due to the new format Im going to miss out on alot of stuff I know I would like to watch.
Your new homepage benefits no one! Give us the option to change back!
not on topic but considering how youtube doesnt give you a way to directly contact anyone to complain....
CHANGE THE BLOODY HOME PAGE BACK TO HOW IT WAS! I HATE THE NEW HOME PAGE AND I DONT LIKE THE FACT THAT I'M BEING FORCED TO USE THE NEW ONE!
Dear youtube,
stop adding new pointless features to the site and "fixing what ain't broken". You are ruining everything and now, the user-friendly youtube I used to love a few years ago is dead. It has since become a corporation-friendly youtube. Please, listen to the feedback from your users in the sugestions and feedback forum.
Who in blazes said the new homepage is better,no one said that...
on the other hand i see countless haters of said change,why are you ruining youtube?!
Change Back.
New homepage is terrible, what on earth were you thinking?
I really hate this new layout. Before the subscriptions were all in a compact little handy box, now you have to scroll like crazy to look through them all. And I hate how "all activity" which I don't care about at all is the default option.
Why do you insist on changing everything every couple months?? At least give us the option of keeping the old homepage. You should at least pole your users, don't just force them to accept these pointless changes!
CHANGE THE HOMEPAGE BACK
WE DON'T WANT OUR SUBSCRIPTIONS ALL IN A HUGE TOWER, WE WANT THEM IN ONE BOX THAT YOU CAN SEE WITH A GLANCE
WE WANT TO SEE AT A GLANCE HOW MANY COMMENTS AND MESSAGES WE HAVE RECEIVED ON THE HOMEPAGE
COPY AND PASTE THIS, SPAM IT EVERY WHERE UNTIL YOUTUBE STOPS TAKING FUNCTIONALITY AWAY FROM IT'S USERS
SPAM THE YOUTUBE HELP FORUM AS WELL

Give me back my simple organized grid layout homepage!
Bring back the old youtube!
Sorry that this comment has nothing to do with your post but Youtube just went from being one of my fave places to check in to a great source of aggravation!! I used to love my homepage, see a quick glance of my subscriber's latest videos. Now I can't find anything but a bunch of links to videos I don't care about and no way to alter it! Either change it back or give us the ability to tailor it the way we like!!
dear youtube, your new homepage sucks , bring the old one back , or at least allow me to remove the "most popular" from it. I don't need to see the most stupid and mediocre videos , only the ones i subscribe and search for, thanks in advance
Change the homepage format back!
Dear Youtube, I Do not like the new youtube home page at all. You dont have to change it back, but could you at least let us choose which one we want like before? That would be awesome!
Thanks-dvn9747
Please bring back the grid of videos! It was simple- quicker to navigate and easier to know what was new at a glance. The fact that I can't see if I have a new message or not is even worse.
I understand that there's pressure to have a fresh, new look, and I was fine with the last layout update for that reason, but this is seriously inconvenient, unorganized, and unnecessary. This is probably a good time to listen to user feedback.
There is an option to view subscriptions only, but still I too dislike this change, it's really cluttered. Even more so when it is forced on me, but then guess I shouldn't be surprised should I?
Why do you keep creating worse and worse versions of this site and foisting them upon the users without warning? I'm subscribed to a great number of channels and now I won't be able to watch all the videos uploaded by them. Not only that, but the new home page simply looks horrid and seems to be designed especially for people with the mental capacity of a gerbil.
FYI. The new homepage SUCKS!!!

The new homepage is RUBBISH. PLEASE give us back the old one. You get the impression that the only reason it was 'upgraded' was because someone gets payed to. Not because it actually benifits anyone. You can only see the last 4 vids of your subscriptions, unless you click a button, and when you refresh it they go away again. Also, I want the INSIGHT chart back!
Hey Youtube! The new homepage is a disaster, please give us at least an option to change it back to the old one.
PLEASE, Youtube, change the homepage back to the previous version. The new one SUCKS. You get the impression that it was only 'upgraded' because someone gets payed to do it. Not because it actually benifits anyone. You can only see the last 4 vids of your subscriptions, unless you click a 'see more' button every time you refresh. Also, I want the INSIGHT chart back!
Give me back my simple organized grid layout homepage!
can you please give us an option of going back to the old Youtube Homepage
I want the old homepage and i want it now!
Google will soon take over the cyber world. And we will all be forced to do Googles bidding. Lookin' forward to it.

Really agree with all the other people. The new lay-out is never going to work. The only thing most youtubers want, is to see if the people they like, have uploaded any video's. If we need anything else, WE will go look for it. You don't need to do it for us. And how do you know, what everybody likes? Really, change it back to how it was. We want just plain old simple functionality over the new 'activity' bullsh*t. Plain, simple and functional.
I came across your page and found the blog really engaging. It not only got me reading but was also very informative. I am hoping to get more such worthwhile content to read. I will subscribe to your site right away. Please keep posting more.
ePrint live would be sweet if you could use it in combination with Teamviewer or something of the sort, maybe you can? I don't imagine I have anything on my phone I would need to print.
