Hasta La Gadget!

If you can’t get enough of Antoine Dodson – you know, the guy whose fame lies entirely with his enigmatic performance in the original “Bed Intruder” news report and subsequent hit viral song and video – then you may just get your wish. According to a post at The Wrap, production company Entertainment One is giving Dodson the opportunity to shoot a pilot reality television show which will follow Dodson and his family as he tries to use his fame to build a better life for all of them. 

Entertainment One also has a record label arm, so there may be more “Bed Intruder”-style songs on the way shortly as well. It’s also worth noting that the “Bed Intruder” song has been downloaded so many times on iTunes that the money Dodson received from it helped him move his family – including his sister whose bed was originally the one intruded upon – out of Alabama’s Lincoln Park housing projects. 

Sales of the song and views of the original and remixed versions of the YouTube video are still rising, so there just may be something to Dodson’s viral fame. Whether the show will take off is anyone’s guess, but there’s clearly an audience ready and waiting to see Dodson on a regular basis.
