Seinfeld producer and writer Peter Mehlman’s latest entertainment venture just launched with Melham interviewing athletes like Olympic gymnast Shawn Johnson, Boston Red Sox first baseman Kevin Youkillis, and Kobe Bryant of the Los Angeles Lakers. Running exclusively on YouTube, the amusing Narrow World of Sports is sponsored by our friends at Palm, and it’s good to see they’ve got the guts to put money into something as off-beat as this, and presumably the sense of humor to appreciate it.
Palm's even gone so far as to buy front page ad space on YouTube and those little box ads you see on every page. That's some serious money right there.

This is pretty funny stuff. A bit non-sequitur, but that's its charm.
I think you mean to say that it was full of non-sequiturs
Palm should use that part where he's looking up info on the pre in a commerical or something.
I like the use of the Pre at the begining and then he puts it back on the touchstone. How sweet is that!
Love those. They ought to use bits of those for commercials, rather than that freaky chick gig they got going.
Totally
i hate to say it.. but kobe had the best interview..
I would say the exactly the opposite. Shawn Johnson has a lack of words, but she is only 16/17. Kobe's sarcasm and arrogance made his personality the most interesting.
I do that too. I actually keep it open 90% of the time I'm using it. It just feels too cramped using it closed.
Well, we don't know whether he was answering a call or making a call. I know that when I make a call on the Pre using the keyboard, I seldom close the keyboard until after I've finished talking.
I wish my Pre would launch apps as quick as his!
Better then all their creepy girl commercials. Go with it.
Gee I wonder what happened to the Pre's video recording/editing capabilities that were supposed to be a part of the show??? I guess Palm didn't want to be flooded with requests/demands from an altogether unhappy bunch of customers. =)

Guess we'll have to wait for that Matt Ryan interview to see what happens.
Hahaha funny :) And she's cute!
Was there a new update or something? I cant, for the life of me, figure out how to set up my Pre to blow up my car when the alarm is going off. :-/
You need to be rooted for that. :p
Hey I LIKE IT!
Don't know how successful it will be, don't know how much it cost, don't know if the spend was worth it but ANYTHING is better than those crappy commercials on TV.
Did you notice that the NarrowWorld You tube channel stated there were updated sketches coming every Sunday !
You can subscribe.
I liked the baseball interview the best as it seemed they were both the same type of comedian
That was actually pretty funny. Love the Seinfeldish humor. Good to see that the Pre is getting some good recognition like this...even with as quirky (yet still funny) as it is.
