Video of the Day: Improv Everywhere Pranks Hermosa Beach Little League Game -- How Cute
For the second time this year, Improv Everywhere releases a video of them pranking the Los Angeles area -- this time they go out to a random little league game in Hermosa Beach acting like it's the Major Leagues with a NBC sports broadcase, the Good Year blimp and hardcore fans who knew the players' names along with made up nicknames (TNT!). They even went as far as holding a press conference afterwards (video below). Last month, Improv Everywhere hit the Baldwin Hills Mall with a Food Court Musical.
Could Improv Everywhere's mastermind Charlie Todd be building buzz for a possible TV show? In a 2005 interview he told Gothamist that he was working with some TV producers on a pitch. "It would definitely be fun to do our thing for a wider audience."
Whatever it is, Los Angeles welcomes the fun and hopes there's more to come, TV or not.

I heard they did a pilot last year but it didn't get picked up. I'm pretty sure the food court musical was originally from that pilot.

That would make sense. According to a letter from a little league parent that they posted on their blog, the game was on March 10, 2007. Interesting that they are posting it just now.

That may be the cutest thing I've seen in a long time.

Jim Gray! Wish he was still doing some NBA.
