Jeffrey Gurian Announced for The “It” Factor Hosted by Alycia Kaback 7/26/10 1:00pm

Posted on July 19th, 2010 by admin

Alycia and Jeffrey WOODY ALLEN took the rare step of allowing an aspiring young comedy writer to meet with him backstage on Broadway, many years ago, when he was starring in “Play It Again, Sam.” Allen was impressed enough with the young writer to invite him to bring more of his work the next evening, and encouraged the young man to pursue his dream of writing comedy. That young man was Jeffrey Gurian.
Allen was the first to tell Gurian that his comedy was “very visual”, and urged him to think about adapting it to film. However it wasn’t until years later that Emmy award winning writer/producer ALAN ZWEIBEL, (Sat. Night Live, Gary Shandling, The Story of Us), got Gurian started writing professionally. ZWEIBEL introduced him to his manager at the time, David Jonas, best known for having catapulted the late Freddie Prinze to stardom in “Chico and The Man.”

RODNEY DANGERFIELD began using some of Gurian’s material on Johnny Carson’s Tonight Show. One night, after his standard, “I’m all right now, but last week was rough” introduction, he opened with Gurian’s line: “Just last week, I bought one of those whirlpools for my bathtub. The first night I used it, I lost three of my best ships,” and that started the ball rolling for Gurian. Later on, he used more of Gurian’s material on his album, “No Respect”.

Since that time, Gurian can lay claim to having heard his lines uttered by literally some of the biggest names in the entertainment world, among them: JOAN RIVERS, PHIL HARTMAN, RICHARD BELZER, GILBERT GOTTFRIED, ROBIN WILLIAMS, MILTON BERLE (who is also his sponsor in The Friars Club), RICH LITTLE, DICK SHAWN, PAT COOPER, JAN MURRAY, FRANK GORSHIN, JIM MORRIS, HENNY YOUNGMAN, JERRY LEWIS…and those are only the comics!

Gurian has also written special material for appearances by such non-comic notables as BRUCE WILLIS, WILLIE NELSON, KRIS KRISTOFFERSON, CHAD EVERETT, FRANKIE AVALON, ENGELBERT HUMPERDINCK, TONY LO BIANCO, MARTY INGELS, SHIRLEY JONES, DONALD O’CONNOR, news anchor CHUCK SCARBOROUGH, news anchor ERNIE ANASTOS, celebrity attorney JAY GOLDBERG, DAVID N. DINKINS, the ex-Mayor of New York City, and the father of comedy clubs, BUDD FRIEDMAN of the Improv. – and many of those projects took place while Gurian was still a nationally known Cosmetic Dentist , lecturer, and consultant to several major dental companies. .

Impressing heavyweights in the entertainment industry with his comedic talent, has been Gurian’s “M.O.”. This has brought Gurian encouragement, and guidance along the way from industry legends like JACK ROLLINS, HERB SARGENT, and BILL PERSKY, who personally chose Gurian as the sole comedy writer, to work with him on a project he directed for television. Judy McGrath, current President of MTV, hired Gurian for a stint writing scripts for MTV. It also brought Gurian a cover story in the “Style” section of the “newspaper of record”, The New York Times, as well as many appearances on radio and television, to discuss how he managed to combine two such diverse, yet successful full time careers.

He has written three films that got made. The first was a Sony project that he wrote with Michael Ian Black of “Ed” fame, and Ben ( Reno 911) Garant, both of MTV’s “The State.” It was called “I’m Your Man”, and was the first interactive film ever made, which debuted at the specially equipped Sony theatre on Broadway and 19th Street, in Manhattan.

His second film, “Face to Face” was written with famed actor Scott Baio, and starred Dean Stockwell, Alex Rocco, Joe Viterelli, Meatloaf, and of course, Scott Baio.

It was honored by being chosen the opening night film at the Taos, New Mexico Film Festival, and won for Best Comedy Feature at the Marco Island Film Festival, and the Valley Film Festival in Hollywood,CA. It has also been seen at festivals in Oregon, Palm Springs, Reno, and Sonoma, CA.

His latest film, “ I Am Woody”, is about a mob boss who’s obsessed with Woody Allen. He survives a mob hit, comes out of it with amnesia, and now actually thinks he’s Woody Allen. Only he’s 6’3” and weighs over 300 pounds. He’s a huge Woody Allen, trying to function in the world of organized crime, which thanks to him, quickly becomes “dis-organized crime.”

“Woody” won for Best Short Film at the NY International Film Festival, and featured the late Victor Argo, and Vince ( Johnny Sack) Curatola, star of HBO’s The Sopranos.

Having written for the N.Y. Friars Club Roasts for more than 25 years, has made Gurian not only an authority on “Roast humor”, but also one of the best known Roast writers on the East Coast.

As a result, he wrote the book for Kensington/Citadel Press called “Filthy, Funny, and Totally Offensive – Jokes So Dirty, Comedians and Entertainers Only Tell Them To Each Other” released in April of ’07.

The book is a compilation of jokes from more than 250 major celebrities including Drew Carey, Jason Alexander, Richard Belzer, Joan Rivers, Gilbert Gottfried, Jackie Mason, Chris Elliott, Jeff Garlin, Susie Essman, Ice-T, Lisa Lampanelli, Greg Giraldo, Colin Quinn, Pat Cooper, Goumba Johnny, and Tony ( Paulie Walnuts) Sirico, Vince (Johnny Sack) Curatola, and Vinny ( Big Pussy) Pastore all of the HBO mega-hit, The Sopranos.

Gurian’s co-writer was journalist Tripp Whetsell, and Paul Provenza who directed the hit film “The Arisotcrats” penned the introduction.

From his work for The Friars Club, Gurian developed an association with Saks/Lipsky Entertainment Productions Ltd. Jeff had a direct working relationship with Bob Saks over the 11 years that Saks was considered the most successful producer of the Friar’s Roasts in the history of the club.

Saks knew who to call when he was looking for a head writer, and co-developer, for the television and film projects, he and his partner Mark Lipsky, (Eddie Murphy’s long time manager, and producer), intended to produce.

Finally heeding Woody Allen’s sage advice from years before, Gurian wrote, and directed several short comedy films for the Toyota Comedy Festival, called The “Men Who” Series, that coincidentally caught the attention of Allen’s longtime manager Jack Rollins. Those films are currently being distributed by Frank Chindamo’s company Fun Little Movies and can be seen on Sprint and Microsoft mobile phones, and Smart Technology devices. Gurian also wrote a one hour NBC after school special called “De La Salle” based on a real school in New York City for gifted children who come from disadvantaged neighborhoods.

He also wrote and directed a play dedicated to the legendary Chuck Zito, star of HBO’s hit show “OZ”, entitled “A Punch In The Face” which examined the question of whether man is inherently violent. He was a “reporter” for Weekly World News, where he wrote stories like “Tap Dancing For The Criminally Insane”, “Smithsonian Claims George Washington Wore Wooden Pants”, and “High Roller Wears Moustache Made Out Of Gold.” Gurian also writes his own celeb-based entertainment column called “Comedy Matters” for an online magazine at www.newyorkcool.com and will appear in Donald Trump’s new magazine, Trump Magazine, during the summer of 2007.

No longer in general practice, Gurian has maintained his connection to dentistry as an Assistant Clinical Professor in the Oral Medicine/Oro-Facial Pain Department at N.Y.U. College Of Dentistry. Having been involved for many years in the esoteric art of healing through touch,using his own technique he calls “STAR” Therapy, an acronym for Spiritual, Transformational, Affirmative, Resonance Therapy, using a combination of modalities like Shiatsu, Reiki, Applied Kinesiology, Chakra Balancing,and Intuitive Healing, he treats stress -related illness and Depression, with a TMJ causation.

His other interests lie in developing a program for teaching young doctors to treat their patients in a more caring way. He is also the only non-clasically trained psychotherapist on the Board of The Association for Spirituality and Psychotherapy, and he writes a weekly online column on Stress Tips for the Slim Fast company at http://www.slimfast.com , listed under Success Tips > Stress Relief.

Because of his work in “owning your own power”, and using that power, and positive energy, to manifest the things in your life that you really want to achieve, Gurian will be teaching a series of classes at The Learning Annex. The first class will be “How to Stop Stuttering Now”, where he’ll be sharing his personal cure for stuttering, (an affliction he suffered with until he was in college), to follow with a class on comedy writing.

It seems that no matter what happens, Gurian’s life continues to be split between at least two careers. He says, “I want my life to be about service, healing, spirituality, and comedy, and somehow, I found a way to make them all go together. What nicer thing can you do for people than to make them laugh, and take away their pain?”

VIP Talent Connect Success Story Update!

Posted on June 11th, 2010 by admin

dg-231x300A happy ‘hello!’ to you all, and I hope you’re enjoying the Summer weather! This is the first edition of a quarterly newsletter I am beginning in order to provide an easy way to update everyone I know about the professional goings-on in my life. I hope you enjoy what you read, as most of you are a very large part of why I am finally able to do this. In advance, I’d like to thank you for being my friends Here it goes…..

2010 started off with a bang! Early in January, my good friend, Mark Schoenfeld, advised me to begin auditioning for some theatre projects. I followed his advice, and within the week, landed the leading role as “Rose,” in the musical Sleeping Beauty for Galli’s Fairytale Theatre in Manhattan. The show ran for 3 weeks, and it was a fantastic opportunity to get my feet wet in this crazy city’s theatre scene! Shortly thereafter, I became the host of the New York public access show called Extreme Art Television for The Society of Unique Artists. It’s been amazing to experience New York art at it’s finest and interview some of the most cutting-edge artists in the world! In early February, my friend Schoolly D, a legendary recording artist and producer, listened to a partial track I had recorded and invited me to his studio to write and record some songs. Within a few hours we laid down a few really exciting tracks, and we’re continuing to brainstorm some great ideas. I was also involved in the making of his newest music video for the track, “Just Can’t Help Myself.” It was a completely crazy, funny, zany day, and the video turned out really comedic and light-hearted. In early March, at the world-wide premiere of the documentary We Live in Public, about/starring the social media pioneer Josh Harris, Josh personally asked me to present the official We Live in Public uniform jacket to the host of the evening’s events, Adrien Grenier. That was quite an honor!

During the VIP Talent Connect Event on March 13th, I was able to reconnect with the completely fabulous and always stylish, Jess Zaino! That very day, she cast me in the spec commercial she was producing for Brooklyn Lager. What a great day! I was also featured in 4 scenes on an episode of Gossip Girl in which Sara Conte cast me. A few weeks later, my friendJohn Buffalo Mailer asked me to audition for a role in Tell Me the Truth, a short experimental film by the Emmy awardwinning director, Gena Konstantinakos. I nailed the audition and was cast in the film alongside greats such as John Buffalo Mailer (Wall Street 2), Meital Dohan (Weeds), and Steve Colman (Russell Simmons’ Def Poetry). WOWOWOW, what an AMAZING opportunity! Working with people of this level was a dream come true, and Gena’s directorial style was magical!

April was a whirlwind of adventure! Another Emmy award winning director, Benedict Hadley, had begun filming a reality show about VIP, entitled VIP/NYC, and I was cast in a leading role. I was instructed to carry a KodakZi8 camera with me at all times, filming myself throughout the course of my adventures. Some of these adventures included volunteering some time at the 3 Dot Dash International Youth Leadership Summit for global peace, hosted by the great producer, Nile Rogers. I also documented my double-life as a regular on-air model for the QVC Network, modeling cosmetics for (the fabulous) Laura Geller. A ridiculously talented guy, Benedict also wrote an OUTSTANDING script called Boost. He cast me as the principle role of “Keran,” the best friend of the lead character, “Simah.” After spending loads of time filming theElectronic Press Kit (EPK), we are expected to begin shooting sometime in the late summer. I couldn’t be more excited (and impatient) to get started! In late April, I had the experience of a lifetime at the Twitter #140Conf, where I was not only able hang out with Ivanka Trump backstage, but also had the AMAZING opportunity to interview the great and powerful TV personality, Donny Deutsch! I was so nervous my head was spinning, and I think it turned out pretty darn good!

After attending the awards ceremony at the Babelgum Film Festival in May, my good friend, director Ali Hossaini, consulted with me about a screenplay I have slowly begun to outline, and also the development of a book of poetry I’ve been writing in dribs and drabs for years. As summer continues, I hope to delve further into these personal projects. In mid-May, I volunteered 5 days of my life at the HOBY, the Hugh O’Brien Youth Leadership summit, held in Central PA. During these 5 days, I facilitated an amazing group of high school sophomores as they learned about the art and selflessness of community service, made pertinent political decisions as they sat in the PA House of Representatives, and made great personal strides as human beings. It was an amazing and rewarding week! To top off a crazy month, I also began modeling for (the totally awesome) Kate Somerville Skin Health Line on QVC.

2010 has been quite a year, thus far. I can’t wait to see what the summer will bring!

I have devised a list of goals to accomplish until I update you again. Here they are!

1) Create my own weekly show on YouTube

2) Start auditioning as often as humanly possible

3) Finish my reel (I’m still waiting on bits of promising footag

4) VISIT HOLLYWOOD (finally!)

5) Finish my website (looong overdue)

Thank you for reading up on my life as of late. I hope this update finds you happy, healthy, and enjoying the sunshine!

CEO Alycia Kaback and VIP Executive Lorna Napolitano VIP Reality Project with MC Hammer

Posted on April 19th, 2010 by admin

VIP Reality Project MC Hammer

VIP Reality Project MC Hammer


CEO and Executive Producer Alycia Kaback and VIP Talent Connect Executive Lorna Napolitano with entertainer and world famous dancer MC Hammer. It really is all about who you know. The three had the opportunity to discuss social media and entertainment concerning the new VIP Reality Project at the 140 Conference in NYC.

Stanley Kirk Burrell (born March 30, 1962), best known by his stage names MC Hammer, Hammer and Hammertime, is a rapper, entertainer and dancer most popular during the late 1980s until the mid-1990s. Remembered for a rapid rise to fame before losing the majority of his fortune, he is also known for his hit records, including “U Can’t Touch This”, flamboyant dance techniques and trademark Hammer pants.
Hammer became a preacher during the late 1990s was a television show host and dance judge, is a record label CEO, and as of 2008 works as a co-creator of a dance website called DanceJam, while still performing occasionally at concerts and other social media, ministry and outreach functions. In addition, he is executive producer of his own reality show called Hammertime which airs Sundays at 10 PM EST on the A&E Network.
Hammer is considered a forefather and innovator of pop rap, and is the first hip hop artist to achieve diamond status for an album. However, due to his mainstream appeal since the late 1980s, Hammer would later be considered a sell-out rapper by many due in part to over-exposure and as a result of his changing to a grittier image as the landscape of rap changed. Nonetheless, BET ranked Hammer as the #7 “Best Dancer Of All Time”. While his talent may be denied, disputed and debated, “Vibe Presents The Best Rapper Ever Tournament” declared Hammer the 17th most favorite of all-time during the first round.

Congratulations to everyone at the 140 conference.

VIP Talent Connect danielle

VIP Talent Connect Event Director featuring a beautiful design from Jules Smith Designs featured on Life.com. It was the hottest event in town as the stars came out to celebrate Corbin Bleu’s unveiling at Tony Di Napoli.

Gina Nigrelli’s JULES SMITH collection is reminiscent of influential runway looks of decades past, infused with modern day influences. Gina’s aesthetic marries her unique contemporary point-of-view with the classic statement-making trends of the 70’s and 80’s. She’s identified the free-spirited essence of the 70’s and the glamour and excess of the 80’s as her brand inspirations. JULES SMITH styles include bold cuffs, star motifs, engraved monochromatic animal print pieces, chain link silhouettes, vintage charms, rings and bangles.
“My collection pays homage to the iconic trends in fashion,” reflects Nigrelli. “One strong accessory, such as a dominant necklace, cuff or bold pair of earrings, completes a look that is timeless and effortlessly chic.”

Great job and everyone at VIP Talent Connect looks forward to more from Danielle. We know one day you will be on the cover of Vogue Magazine.

VIP Talent Connect Maxim Boadie

“Bodie” real name Matt Bodenheimer came to our office on May 18, 2009. Bodie is from Virginia. He attended his first VIP Talent Connect event July 2009 where he met Ryan Colby. This is what Bodie wrote in his paragraph on why he wants to get in the industry one year ago:

“Though my own personal journey, I’ve learned that entertainment industry is anything but predictable. There is no given or specific path on how to make or break your career. Although I have learned many things from my experiences, I feel that I have only gotten my feet wet in terms of my goals and capabilities for the future. This year, I want to get my food in the door and take my acting career to the next level. I see myself no constricting my acting opportunities solely on the DC area. I hope to be working on more professional projects and be able to get my name out. I want to find more work, go on more auditions, work in DC, New York, and Philadelphia because I know the harder I work, it is only a matter of time before I can get my career rolling. In one year, I see myself surrounded by people who believe in my abilities and are will to help me find the opportunities and I in return am willing to put the effort to try my hardest to put myself out there and not miss out on opportunities. If there is one think I have learned, it is that opportunities don’t come to you, you have to go out and find them.” Congratulations “Matt” we always knew with the right connections you had what it takes to be a star!

Celebrity stalkers pose real threat to famous. TAGVIP don’t be a stalker!

Posted on October 20th, 2009 by admin

JAILCelebrity stalkers may seem like harmless nut cases on the evening newscasts, especially when comedians like David Letterman and Conan O’Brien use their own stalkers as comic fodder. But underlying the jokes is the reality that obsessed fans can turn deadly.
And sometimes even when prescreening a talent the staff at TAGVIP realize that when a potential talent is rejected, they can become stalkers who can turn violent.
Plays for attention

If you’re a celebrity with a stalker, the first thing that comes to your mind every time you have these everyday encounters is: Is that my stalker? And is this the time he’ll try to make good on his threats?
“It takes a while to figure out who’s just a ‘Deadhead,’ and who’s an obsessed stalker,” says entertainment publicist Susan Blond, who has worked with superstars like KISS and James Brown. “Especially now with blogs and email . They find out when their planes are landing, and where they’ll be next.”
But even if you know who your stalker is, keeping them at bay can be close to impossible, say experts.
“A lot of these people are sick, and its tough to control crazy,” says Sunny Hostin, a former federal prosecutor and current managing director at Kroll Inc., a risk consulting company. “Without laying legal groundwork, an officer can’t help you. And the only thing you can do is involve law enforcement to push the process. An order of protection and restraining order doesn’t protect you from the stalker, since they are sick, but it starts the legal process.”
That is why at VIP Talent Connect and TAGVIP security is the number one rule when it comes to working with our industry ties. If you are a stalker you will go to jail. Case Closed!
