Los Angeles, CA (CNS) - Consumers looking for a comedy fix will be happy to hear about "Funny or Die's" new YouTube channel. CEO Dick Glover announced on Thursday the launch of the new channel that will offer a collection of hand-selected videos.

Will Ferrell and Adam McKay, the co-founders of Funny of Die, will kick off the launch by appearing in a special video and appearing as guest editors of YouTube's Home Page "Spotlight" section.

"We are very excited to distribute a sub set of our videos through YouTube," said Dick Glover. "As one of the premiere names in comedy it seemed like the right time to launch a Funny or Die branded channel," he added.

"Funny or Die brings a welcome blend of comedy, celebrity and web originals to YouTube," said George Strompolos of YouTube Strategic Partner Development. "This is an exciting partnership for YouTube and a big win for our community."

All Funny of Die videos will continue to premiere on www.funnyordie.com, with the video then moving to Funny or Die's YouTube channel for a limited time globally.
