What is kyle.tv?Every kyle.tv episode begins with an idea and a mission. Whether it's crashing the Redneck Olympics with aspirations to compete, wanting to meet PJ Harvey with fake "�lmmaker" credentials, or organizing a Smirno�-based Easter egg hunt made out of jello shots, Kyle creates a challenge and takes you on it. No invitation required. He doesn't have one. No reason you should.

Who is Kyle?Kyle is a pure-spirited Everyman, only a little bit gayer. He's the friend that gets you into a little bit of trouble but you have the best time doing it. In success or "failure," he'll inspire you, have fun with you, and maybe even change your life. The way Kyle sees it, obstacle is opportunity. Put him in a new situation and he approaches it with a simple question: you gonna eat that?

He is also an award-winning �lmmaker (having captured the "You Suck" award at Georgia's Redneck Olympics), a formal mayoral candidate of Atlanta (the electoral process belongs to the people!), and the former face of CNN's iReport (in commer-cials worldwide).
