The YouTube-hosted Elevator, launched in May 2007, has survived a 2009 production company changeover (from HBOlab to Break)
to produce over 200 episodes of short, wry comedy shot in a single
location. And that longevity has paid off, thanks in part to a wide
range of guest stars, including YouTube elite like Charles Trippy and
Ryan Higa, Garfunkle and Oates‘ Kate Micucci, and Canadian sketch comedy team Loading Ready Run,
who have helped the series achieve millions of views and nearly 80,000
YouTube subscribers. Via chat, we talked with series creator Woody
Tondorf about Elevator’s origins, the difference between his
past and present corporate masters, and if an end is in sight for the
series. An edited transcript follows.
