Sony is getting into the online comedy biz… tangentially. Crackle,
a Sony Pictures Entertainment Company, today announced the launch of Moving
Targets, a programmed channel teeming with all sorts of sketches, digital shorts
and laugh-out-loud animation.

Moving Targets delivers laughs around the clock from the
comedy chops of veterans like Airplane!
director Jerry Zucker, animation innovators Starz and Jennifer Shiman (30-Second Bunnies Theatre) and Brian Dalton
(Mr. Deity), as well as open
submissions from today’s emerging talent. “Sketch comedy has been a launching pad for some of
Hollywood’s brightest stars, and with Moving Targets we’re giving content
creators the opportunity to shine, while comedy hungry audiences get quality
programming they desire,” said Tony Liano, vice president of programming
at Crackle. “Every generation has had a signature comedy program — from Laugh-In and In Living Color
to Saturday Night Live — Moving
Targets will be this generation’s.”

Crackle also produces a stable of original programs under
the auspices of Crackle Studios. Moving Targets combines licensed and produced
episodes as well as invited submissions from emerging talent participants. For more information, click here.
