Everybody, find that hilarious video you filmed with your cell phone and upload it to the Web!
Carson Daly, host of NBC's late-night show Last Call With Carson Daly, has hired Web celeb Brooke Brodack to create a possible TV show. Daly discovered the 20-year-old Brodack through her popular music video parodies on content site YouTube.
Daly signed Brodack to a talent development deal with his Carson Daly Productions, saying she fit perfectly with his plans of creating properties for mobile, Web, and TV. Brodack's video Numa, a parody of boy band O-Zone's music video for "Dragosteta din Tei," has been viewed more than 1 million times.
"Several things immediately caught my eye watching her videos," Daly said. "She's got a fresh point of view, considerable directing skills, and a great sense of music and how to use it."
The Internet is shaping up to be a launching pad for careers in entertainment. Other popular personalites who got their start on the Web include MTV's Andy Milonakis and SNL's Andy Samberg.

auliyagmailcom, i invite you to stop being so snarky.
Yawn - who cares?
Every media source talking about Brookers -- from Forbes magazine to a local gazette -- has the name of her video incorrect. The video on YouTube is 'Numa' (not 'Zuma'). If you work for TV.com and see this note, I invite you to be the first media outlet to "check your facts" and make a correction.
thats so cool for Brooke!
