Okay. I’ve alluded to this before, but here’s the full news. And it is related to parenting.

Season 2 of Laughs premieres this Saturday on Fox (in select cities). The show ends with a segment called So Then There’s This, which I produce.

You see, I’ve been doing social media and other stuff for a few shows, one of which was Laughs. That show spun off the web series So Then There’s This. A network exec saw my Discussing News stuff and asked if I wanted to take over the series as producer. Then shortly after I took over, they announced that the series would appear within episodes of Laughs for the new season.

To recap, here’s the chain of events, all in a row:

I became a dad
I started a dad blog and associated social media accounts
That experience helped me get a social media job at a charity
That experience helped me get a social media job in television
The series I do with my kids, plus my work for the TV show led to a job producing a web series
That web series will now be on TV

So basically, I’m a producer now and I have my kids to thank. What a strange ride.

(Oh, and since this is a parenting site, I’ll go ahead and apologize now to all the moms who’ll be offended by what Tom says in the premiere episode of So Then There’s This.)
