NBC to Launch Original Mobile Series

NEW YORK, October 10: NBC has committed to the production of
20 90-second original shorts called Pale Force for streaming over broadband and distribution to mobile devices,
according to Media Week.

Pale Force is
inspired by a series of animated sketches that have been featured on the
late-night talk show Late Night With Conan O'Brien. The concept, created by comedian Jim Gaffigan, who
is a regular guest on the show, is based on the adventures of superhero Pale
Man and his sidekick, Conan O’Brien.

The webisodes will be available on nbc.com each Friday,
starting October 12. In addition, they will be available to Sprint subscribers
for mobile viewing one week earlier than their online debut. Gaffigan’s
additional appearances on Late Night
will serve to promote the shorts.
