Description

Young people everywhere are turning into their parents. Why? Among other things, they’re afraid to give up their old computers for a new PC.

Thank God for self-help guru Dr. Jimm (played by SNL’s Kenan Thompson), whose TV show is devoted to getting young guests to change their parent-y ways, with the help of a new PC.

This project is a personal labor of love: I came up with the concept, the character, wrote all the scripts, created shareable social media images that parody motivational quotes, and helped create a complete Facebook presence for the show.

It also kicked off an exciting partnership between The Onion and Facebook’s Anthology program.
