Jakob Lodwick must be steaming in his super-tight jeans right now. The one-time College Humor semi-co-founder (though his name has been scrubbed off the CH wiki) tried to make it on his own by various tech pet projects like Muxtape and Vimeo, and eventually leaving the Internet in a huffy rage.

But his former friends have gone on to more than a modicum of success without him, and are still the cherry in Barry Diller's IAC martini. And now they are getting their own TV show:

What do you do after launching your own comedy Web site, selling it to Barry Diller — and then, just as impressively, managing to stay employed by Barry Diller? You get your own TV show, of course. Also, did I mention that Ricky Van Veen and Josh Abramson are still in their 20s? They are. But the College Humor co-founders are remarkably level-headed given their well-chronicled success so far.

That’s likely how they’ve survived multiple management shake-ups at Diller’s IAC/Interactive Corp. (IACI). And it seems to be why they can handle their day jobs while simultaneously producing a new TV show — which is shooting in their office.

IAC's investments have been scattered to the four winds in recent months, with the IAC programming unit that created 23/6 shutting down, a $14 billion loss for this year, and Diller's own very public dispute with John Malone last year. But at least College Humor — which is hit-and-miss but does boast it's own in-house editing studio, which makes for very fast, well-produced comedy vids — seems like it might outlive it's owner.
