Bikini News

Bikini News is a series of satirical news videos featuring two comediennes performing in bikinis in a comedic style similar to The Daily Show and Saturday Night Live. It also includes sketch comedy elements, including plotlines where the main characters marry and have romantic affairs with ninjas. It is available in podcast and vodcast form, as well as in mov and wmv file formats. Over 90 episodes and 80 bloopers/sketches were created, between November 2006 and December 2007. The main characters in most of the episodes are Mary Clark (played by actress Penny Drake, who has also appeared in a number of comedy horrors including Jay Lee's "Zombie Strippers" [imdb name|id=1715297|name=Penny Drake] ), and Jen Jackson, although early episodes featured other performers, including Wild 'N Out actress Cameron Goodman. Several skits include the main characters pretending to be celebrities, such as Britney Spears, Paris Hilton and Donald Trump.

The characters also produced their own video blogs chronicling events behind the scenes, as well as rants, questions to the audience and comedic sketches.
