THE HOUSE was created by Anthony Donovan in 1995 while working a swing shift stocking toilet paper in a Winn Dixie in a town in Florida so small that even it’s residents can claim never to have heard of it.In college, he met Aimee’ Meredith. She was looking to abandon a success career in dance for something much more unstable and bothersome. Soon the 2 were off to California, determined to live a life of humble piety and start a TV show.Said TV show, THE HOUSE (Keep up, would ya?), premiered in SoCal on February 9th 2000. Seven seasons (and 40 episodes) later the show has been profiled by the San Diego Union Tribune and has won the 2005 and 2006 Telly Awards. We hold our heads huge as the longest running local cable sketch somedy TV show of it’s kind in SoCal. In November 2008, we performed our first full-length live sketch comedy show to rave reviews and astounding attendance. We are currently in production on our eigth season. In short, we win.

We’ve been compared to "Mr. Show" before, but none of us have ever seen that so we don’t know if that’s a good thing. Is it?

Films
It's a TV show. It's kinda like movies only smaller and takes up less of your time. Also, you can watch completely in the nude and not get arrested (unless you do it at Best Buy)

Hey man! I just got back into town. I have been recording the episodes, the one on Thurs was not from this season though. Am I not on the right day or time? It's good to hear from you, miss you guys!
*sniff* I miss everyone.
One of these days, I'll come back, and everyone will be shocked and awed... because they won't remember who I am, and wonder who the hell this random person is walking into the set.
