“MILLIONAIRE MATCHMAKER’S” SOUTHERN GENTLEMAN JOINS “TEE TEE” TO DISH ON SKETCH COMEDY

LOS ANGELES, CA (September 6, 2011) — “Barack the Vote’s” success landed creator, Brandon Broussard on season five of Bravo’s hit show “Millionaire Matchmaker” in the upcoming episode airing Thursday, September 8th at 9:00PM. Former writer for Tyler Perry, Brandon Broussard’s latest creation, Purple Stuff TV has grown increasingly popular. The sketch comedy started as a web series in 2009 and since has generated buzz resulting in interest from various major networks.

Brandon Broussard has had help from an all-star team, including Barry Floyd, PSTV Head Writer and well known for his role as ‘Tee Tee’ of BET’s hit show “The Game,” Oscar Turner, PSTV Executive Producer and former Paramount Executive, and Anastasia Ali, PSTV Producer and TV One Producer for “Love that Girl,” starring sister Tatyana Ali. The team of heavy hitters is currently shopping around the networks with their “Purple Stuff TV,” started as an online destination for the next generation of the “The Chappelle Show.” The comedy sketches drew inspiration from “Saturday Night Live” and “In Living Color.” The PSTV talented multicultural cast and crew had never imagined that their raw sketches would draw in such a huge audience and lead to creating two 30-minute pilots with a chance to follow in the footsteps of their predecessors airing on the small screen.

“Purple Stuff TV’s” very own “southern gentleman with a broken heart,” Brandon Broussard gets back in the game on Thursday’s episode of “Millionaire Matchmaker.” Confident and sincere, Brandon knew the other millionaire was in trouble at the episode’s mixer when William “the wannabe player” told Brandon, "I'm thinking about asking the girl, who gives head better, you or your father?" Tune into Bravo at 9:00pm on Thursday to get to know Brandon’s down-to-earth yet raw personality, the source that gave birth to his thriving sketch comedy.

Broussard has Barry Floyd to thank, as a key player for the project’s success. “The Game” star said, “PSTV has helped me grow as a writer while also giving me the opportunity to direct and produce. I'm very proud of the fact that I've been here since the beginning and I've seen the show come so far from what it was when we first started and it's only going to get bigger.”

The latest episode of “Purple Stuff TV” will air this Thursday, September 8th. For more information, visit http://www.purplestufftv.com or follow @purplestufftv on twitter.
