Whether he’s handing Pierce Brosnan and Julianne Moore his resume or playing a video game with Tara Reid, Boaz Frankel brings a new dynamic to entertainment news as the host of Clips & Quips, a program that GW-TV and nearly 30 other college television stations across the country have recently added to their line-up.

“What I’m frustrated with is, on different shows you’ll see an identical interview over and over again,” Frankel said. “They need ‘X actor’ to say 10 seconds about their character, 10 seconds about the movie and 10 seconds about working with the other actor. I think there are more interesting things to talk about.”

Unlike other entertainment programs, Frankel takes a more conversational approach in his Clips interviews. “Sometimes it’s a little surprising to the actor,” Frankel said. “They’re expecting to deliver the sound bytes. It’s clear that what you get on those questions is a sort of pre-recorded response. I try to avoid that.”

As students at NYU, Frankel and Evan Nisenson co-produced On the Cusp, a late-night entertainment show on the NYU Television Network. Success on-campus and the booking of famous actors and actresses gave Frankel and Nisenson a base audience for branching out. When they graduated in 2004, Frankel and Nisenson sought to bring their perspective to campuses nationwide.

The show provides a more focused approach to your typical entertainment television show. Clips delivers segments and interviews that cater to college students: recommendations on new books, student reviews of movies, student short films and student musician of the month.

Nisenson said that Clips is rapidly gaining students recognition. “We got a lot of people wanting us to come to campus and a lot of people writing in for the giveaways. At the same time, they’ll write that they love the show.”

“I’ve gotten a number of Facebook messages from people who saw the show,” said Frankel. “We’ve had more responses from GW students than any other campus.”

GW-TV said it recently added Clips to revamp its current programming. “We are definitely open to affiliating with other shows that we think would be appropriate and fun for the station,” co-executive producer John Helman said. “(Clips) is universal, so it fits for any college atmosphere. They were able to talk to Natalie Portman and Zack Braff from “Garden State” which was a big hit with our demographic.”

Clips episodes are distributed monthly and currently air on GW-TV for two weeks at a time during the station’s six-hour programming loop.

The April episode features a behind the scenes of the cartoon “Family Guy” featuring interviews with the cast, creators and animators and an interview with Samuel L. Jackson.

What can you expect from Clips in the future? Frankel says he wants it to become a stronger student forum.

“We really want students to submit their own work. If someone is working on a CD or putting a new CD out themselves, they can send it to us and we’ll use it for the soundtrack for the next episode,” Frankel said.

Frankel and Nisenson also look to branch out and film on campuses across the country. “We just started, but we’d like to visit at least one different campus each episode,” Frankel said. “We have thought about shooting in D.C. There’s definitely a possibility of us coming to GW.”
