Caught Our Eye

New staffer won Webby for "The Wire" spoof

Posted by Jenna Ebersole on Dec. 12, 2014

One California field representative brings unusual talents to his new congressional job - film-making and musical satire.

Michael Kimbrew helped produce a Funny Or Die video called, "Wire: The Musical" that won a 2013 Webby award. Kimbrew started this month in Rep Janice Hahn's (D-Calif.) San Pedro office.

The four-minute video is a lighter take on the acclaimed and often grim show, with several of its original actors.

"Experience The Wire's realistic portrayal of America's decaying inner cities through the magic of song," the narrator boasts in the video.

Kimbrew has a bachelor's degree in political science and government from Texas Southern University and has also worked as a political consultant.
