MTV at Bâoli

"Your Attacks Dollars at Work": Jon Stewart on MTV's Comedy Central

"I hate television. I hate it as much as peanuts.
And I can't stop eating peanuts."
Orson Welles, American filmmaker

The second day, we slept off the first day, then lined up our invitations to the next 36 hours of the finest MIPCOM parties on land and sea.

Early Saturday evening was MTV at Bâoli. Last year's Fashion Tv party had been at this très chic Cannes club with non-stop dancing on the tables and chairs. Alas, there was no dancing at MTV's rather corporate-style soirée.

But what it lacked in dancing, this party made up for in its cute cartoony atmosphere and tasty hors d'ouevres.

The presentation of the desserts was especially charming in the form of a "skirt" worn by a gracious mignonne named Gabriella with TV camera lenses for a bra. Gautier wouldn't have minded; it is a TV convention.

Speaking of TV, whom should we bump into at Bâoli but Hadar, Udi, Tali and Ethy from Ananey's EGO Channel? In case you don't know, this is the TV station in Israel that just starting airing The Dr. Susan Block Show five nights a week (and made our Alexa ratings skyrocket; lots of webheads in Israel). Since our agent Walter Behr had sold them the show at MIPTV in Spring, we were not surprised to see them here at MIPCOM, just impressed to be doing another "bump-and-meet" with people we'd corresponded with but hadn't yet met in person. Such is the nature of the MIP.

EGO, "the first Israeli channel specifically tailored for the hot-blooded 18-45 male audience…with a cheeky and humorous on-air look and feel." is a very nice fit for The Dr. Suzy Show which is "cheeky" in every sense of the word. We talked about the show, the Market, Israeli male sexuality ("they spend too much time in the army" explained Udi) and the Israeli beauties who horahed away with the top FTv awards.

Then we met yet another Israeli beauty. They were everywhere this MIPCOM, and we wondered what it all meant regarding media, war, peace, sex...Do they also spend too much time in the army? This one, Hofit Golan, hosts a series of music concert TV shows out of Miami. Since Israel is smaller than Florida, we figured she must know the EGO Channel folks, but she didn't. So we took great pleasure in introducing them. Matchmaker, Matchmaker, Make Me a Match…
