Revision3 Partners With DISCOVER Magazine to Produce 'Joe Genius'

SAN FRANCISCO, July 15 /PRNewswire/ -- DISCOVER (www.discovermagazine.com), and Revision3 (www.revision3.com), the leading Internet Television network, today announced the launch of 'Joe Genius,' a innovative new program that looks inside the world of homegrown science online.  The joint venture, produced by High Noon Entertainment  (www.highnoonentertainment.com), is hosted by comedian, Jonah Ray who has appeared on Comedy Central and MTV; and will feature a new episode every Thursday.

Each week, Jonah will showcase the best homemade science experiments on the web from dry ice bombs and exploding volcanoes to robot musicians and other inventive technologies. He will explore the scientific elements behind each video and explain the fundamental properties that make them work or in some instances, why they don't work. Episodes will run 12-15 minutes and provide an inside look into the excitement, hilarity and thrill of homemade experiments.

"I'm thrilled to see the amazing everyday science brought to life in such a fun and entertaining online show," said Henry Donahue, CEO & Publisher of DISCOVER. "Revision3's fan base of smart viewers makes them the perfect partner to get DISCOVER's brand of uniquely accessible science out to a larger audience."

"We're really excited to announce Joe Genius," said Ryan Vance, vice president of programming and production, Revision3.  "Viewers are not only able to watch mind-blowing experiments take place, but through our partnership with DISCOVER we are also able to educate our audience on the cool science behind each video."
