'The Mashable Show' has a stacked lineup from SXSW for Twitter Live
Great news, everyone! Your SXSW FOMO is over, courtesy of Mashable and Cookie Monster.
For those who can't make it down to Austin to experience those SXSW vibes firsthand, have no fear -- Mashable and Twitter are teaming up to bring the best of SXSW 2017 to a screen near you.
"The Mashable Show" -- an exclusive 90-minute live stream of all things Interactive, Film and Music down at South By -- will be broadcast on Twitter March 10, 11 and 12 from 1 p.m. EST, and we're kicking things off on Friday with a bang.
On March 10, our obsessive SXSW coverage will include special guests, exciting stunts and intriguing inside info, presented by a hilarious host, of course.
Here are some of the coolest Day One highlights you won't want to miss:
1. Host Kerri Doherty
"The Mashable Show" will be hosted by comedian Kerri Doherty. She will be your go-to-girl for staying up-to-date on SXSW secrets, music, food, mayhem, and of course, laughter. Over the course of the weekend, Doherty will be joined by Mashable editors, writers and other special guests.
She'll be engaging viewers in Twitter conversations, answering questions, and more. How freaking cool, right?
And hey, while you wait for our thrilling live-stream to start, why not check out this great Doherty hack and learn how to change a flat tire like a pro?! Woo!
2. Cookie Monster
C is for co-host AND Cookie Monster!
Yep, that's right. Kerri will be joined by a hungry, furry and downright lovable co-host, Cookie Monster. The beloved Sesame Street character will be sharing his unique perspective on SXSW and who knows, maybe he'll be abandoning his love of sweets for some tortilla chips and queso. On Saturday and Sunday, his friends Grover and Bert will also get involved.
Cookie Monster will help introduce one of the coolest SXSW events taking place on "The Mashable Show," that could literally end up changing the world as we know it (more on that in a bit).
Here's hoping Cookie Monster will successfully #BreakTheInternet once again.
3. Hannibal Buress and other celeb profiles
Mashable spoke with comedian, actor and more recently, Spotify music guru, Hannibal Buress, in an exclusive interview to air during "The Mashable Show." We'll also be looking back at how filmmaker and GIRLS creator, Lena Dunham got her big break at SXSW back in the day and checking out what singer John Mayer has been up to lately.
4. Nick Offerman in da houseeee
Everyone's favorite woodworker and guy that played Ron Swanson on Parks and Rec is stopping by "The Mashable Show" to drop some serious SXSW knowledge.
If Offerman's SXSW commentary is anywhere near as mindblowing as his shower thoughts, oh. boy.
5. Attempting to shatter some World Records, NBD
Need another reason to tune in? An epic stunt or two will be streamed on "The Mashable Show" that could wind up shattering some Guinness World Records.
Will we be shooting Cookie Monster out of a cannon? Attempting to eat the most tacos ever live on Twitter? Revealing Nick Offerman's greatest ever shower thought? You're just going to have to watch and see.
