Next Time on Lonny



"Eddy: "You ever uh, huffed a human soul?""

Next Time On Lonny is a Web Original comedy series that parodies the Reality Show genre. The eponymous character in the Show Within a Show Lonny is "a flavorless twenty-something... [meandering] through his hipster existence desperately trying to meet girls." But "On the Next..." Lonny, "things get interesting... very interesting."
