ManiaTV! Cyber Jockeys Erica and Matt

ManiaTV.com Cyber Jockeys to Celebrate Show Anniversary LIVE in Birthday Suits
In response to viewer suggestions, Internet TV hosts decide to go naked.

Feb. 22nd 2007 Denver, CO.-ManiaTV.com today announced that Cyber Jockeys, Erica and Matt of the LIVE morning variety show, Wake the Hell Up will celebrate the 1 year anniversary of the show by hosting the entire 2 hours naked Friday, Feb. 23rd, 2007.

The idea originated in the ManiaTV! chat room as one of many creative and controversial ideas. However, after an unrelenting campaign by ManiaTV.com’s loyal audience, the young pair of CJ’s have decided to give the viewers what they want. The vivacious, bubbly, red haired host, CJ Erica, who has interviewed hundreds of celebrities and Hollywood figures, will join her counterpart, the very tall, openly gay, and equally as fabulous CJ Matt for a controversial and hilarious Web TV special.

The LIVE Internet naked TV bonanza will be highlighted by interviews with Andy Cohen of Bravo, a Playboy playmate and a psychic, as well as an in-studio session of exposed yoga, uncovered fashion advice, and undressed tassel twirling lessons from Vivienne Vavoom of As it Was, the famous Burlesque show. There will also be naked people stopping by and one jumping out of a cake.
 
Despite boasting a long list of blue chip advertisers and an audience ranging from 13-34, ManiaTV.com executives have agreed to allow the pair creative freedom to host an anniversary special in the buff. “Creative Freedom is what makes us special” said ManiaTV.com EVP of Programming and 3-time Emmy Award winner, Richard Ayoub. “We offer no-strings-attached creative control to Tom Green, the Gastineau Girls, Dave Navarro, and anyone who creates a MyTV channel on our network, so why not do the same for our own cyber celebrities?”.

“This will not be pornographic, this will be innocent fun in the skin God gave us!” exclaimed Erica. “It is just another new way to play with our audience. They are always daring us to do things.” said Erica, who is a model, artist and baseball fanatic that also just finished hosting an HBO pilot.

“I think this will be fun. I am open with my feelings and opinions on the show and our fans appreciate it. I’m just a little concerned that my hands won’t cover all I have to offer” said Matt, an MVP in Gay Volleyball and defender of Britney Spears until death.

Wake The Hell Up(M-F 9-11AMEST) a cult favorite among ManiaTV.com’s 6 million monthly viewers, features celebrity interviews, the latest in gossip, news bites and experimental, interactive segments.
