For young woman, viral video leads to ‘date’ with Jason Segel
Days after Chelsea Gill posted a sweet, funny song about Segel on to YouTube, she was attending an awards event with him—thanks to the power of social media.
My daughter Lauren is friends with Chelsea Gill, the young lady in this video who admits her fondness for writer/producer/actor Jason Segel, and she alerted me when the video started going viral.
But that was just the beginning. It was a wild week for Gill:
Jan. 03: Gill posts her video on YouTube and all her friends spread it through Twitter, Facebook, etc.
Jan. 04: Gill is featured on Buzzfeed and various other websites, and Jason Segel tweets in response to the video.
Jan. 05 10:30 a.m.: Chelsea’s story appears on the front page of Huffington Post Entertainment, and she is interviewed by news shows.
