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.
