HBO Renews ‘Vice’ Series for Third Season, Vice CEO Tells NewFront Crowd
Posted in: UncategorizedVice Media’s NewFront presentation in New York was every bit as irreverent and odd as the video content it showed to media buyers on Friday. And Shane Smith, the company’s co-founder and CEO, wasn’t shy about his opinions of the NewFronts.
“It’s literally the craziest fucking audience in the world,” he said, referring to the mix of curiosity seekers, press and media buyers in the audience. “Hopefully, a third of you are people who are going to give us money.”
Vice’s half-hour HBO show has been picked up for a third season, Mr. Smith told the audience. “HBO is going to give me shit” for announcing it, he added. (An HBO spokesman confirmed the news afterward.)
