Quick Clicks: JetBlue, Fast Company, Johnny Carson, ‘Wage Slaves’, GSD&M

Web series and online video news worth clicking today:

The JetBlue flight attendant flip out has been all over the news this week—USA Today even put this guy on the front page—but there’s been a sore lack of good video showing just what happened on that fretful flight that set off 39 year-old Steven Slater on his expletive filled tirade and eventual escape down the plane’s inflatable slide. Luckily Chinese news service Next Media Animation has a nice reenactment for us. [NMA on YouTube]

Rocketboom, the long-running NYC-based web series that spawned a slew of offshoot series that would stand strong on their own, with Know Your Meme even overtaking the top spot. Well now the Rocketboom team is doing a little re-org on YouTube, breking out into Rocketboom Daily, RocketboomTech, Know Your Meme and Rocketboom NYC. And to be expected, they even made a video announcing the shake up. [Rocketboom]

Johnny Carson is coming to web! (Or so the headlines read this morning.) Really the late great Carson’s archive of more than 3500 hours of The Tonight Show have been digitized and will be released online through the relaunched johnnycarson.com

Austin-based creative agency GSD&M Idea City lauched a five-episode web series Profiles in Creativity created by a handful of GSD&M’s interns.
