Check out a new mini-series on RIZZLE by my brother Marcus and me: “Ding-Dong: The Door to Door Adventures of Dan Dan Daniel Danielson.” Ten, one-minute-long episodes hit July 4th weekend exclusively on Rizzle.tv’s app and website. Marcus stated, “We’ve always been inspired by classic comedy like the Marx Brothers and Three Stooges. This is a lot like that by way of slapstick, however; there’s a storyline that builds as you watch revealing layers of what else is really going on.”
Adding to the 20 plus minute long episodes of Nadienne, will be a brand new show and all new character: Dan Dan Daniel Danielson. Dan Dan(Lucas) is an inept door to door salesmen who can’t quite seem to close the deal faster than the homeowner can close their door. “I always loved those old Ernest commercials from the ‘80s,” Lucas said, “You’d be in the point of view of who he was pestering, and hilarity would ensue. We were definitely inspired by that!”
Thom Woodley, Rizzle’s Creative Director, reached out to the Rosses in 2020 about reformatting some of their ‘Lazy Circles’ show into short episodes. “We met Thom at an independent television, Catalyst Content Festival,” Lucas stated, “and I guess our characters struck a nerve because he remembered us and next thing we knew, we were making an official Rizzle Series!”
Nadienne Chitwood, one of the Ross brother’s creations, is a wild and recognizable character who has earned not only a local following from Oklahoman’s who have watched Lazy Circles on Amazon Prime, but through Rizzle and TikTok the fictional librarian has earned views from across the globe. “Right now Nadienne averages about a few million views weekly across different platforms,” says co-creator and director, Marcus Ross. “People just relate to her. We’ve even had some senior centers from out of state want my brother and me to come and film episodes there with him in full costume!” She’s even gotten the attention of fellow Oklahoman, Kristin Chenoweth who recently created her own duet videos with Nadienne!
