Daniel Kellison
Kellison was a producer for Late Night with David Letterman and Late Show with David Letterman for eight years. Kellison also executive produced and co-created ABC's David Blaine: The Magic Man, Comedy Central's The Man Show, Crank Yankers and was the original executive producer for The Rosie O'Donnell Show.
During his stint as a producer at the Late Show with David Letterman, he persuaded Drew Barrymore to flash Letterman her breasts. He also convinced Madonna to appear on the program with the premise she would confront the host over his jokes about her personal life. The segment became controversial, with the singer repeatedly using foul language and refusing to leave the stage when her interview was to end.
In March 2013, Kellison launched the YouTube channel Jash with partners Sarah Silverman, Michael Cera, Tim & Eric and Reggie Watts as well as the Video Podcasting Network (featuring Video Podcasts from Adam Carolla, The Earwolf Network, Norm Macdonald and Doug Benson).
He also served as Executive Producer on several award-winning short films produced under the Jash banner. These shorts include "Catherine" (starring Jenny Slate), Michael Cera's "Brazzaville Teen-ager" and "Gregory Go Boom", which won the 2014 Jury Award in U.S. fiction at the Sundance Film Festival.
Kellison was a contributor to ESPN's Grantland.

The Floor
The Floor is a physical quiz show that sees 81 contestants face off in quiz duels on a giant LED floor divided into a 9×9 grid of squares, each representing its own field of knowledge.
The first challenger, selected at random, must choose one of his or her neighboring opponents to go head-to-head in an epic quiz duel in the opponent's category. The winner takes over the loser's square, gaining valuable ground as they expand their territory, while the loser exits the game. The winner must then choose – do they continue on and attempt to secure another square? Or do they let The Floor choose a new challenger? The last contestant standing who gains full control over The Floor takes home a life-changing $250,000 cash prize.
