BOSTON—March
20, 2008
The
abrasive yet extremely affable, no-holds-barred, new media personality
Joe Ligotti: The Guy from Boston announced today he has entered into an
exclusive management-publicity deal with Balboni Communications Group,
LLC of Boston and New York.
“Things are moving so fast and I needed to put together a strong team
to handle all the business so I can continue doing what I do best, which
is having the balls to say what you are thinking,” bellowed Ligotti.
Since breaking onto the media landscape in July of 2006, the massively
framed, halting yet ebullient Ligotti has developed into a
controversial, non-traditional media icon gathering millions of
dedicated viewers worldwide via his Internet site www.theguyfromboston.net.
Ligotti was taken from the massive Internet landscape and introduced to
national television by FNC’s Vice-President of Business News Neil
Cavuto, host of the number one business cable show Your
World with Cavuto, where Ligotti has appeared several times. Since
his national debut on FNC, Ligotti recently sat on the couch to chat
with Jay Leno on NBC’s The
Tonight Show and is currently a regular fixture on the national
morning show FOX & Friends. In the Boston area, Ligotti is a
contributor to the local FOX-TV 25 News affiliate covering off beat and
celebrity stories in his own inimitable way. In six short weeks Ligotti
has made his mark on Tom Hanks and teen pop music sensations The Jonas
Brothers among others.
Just recently, YouTube pulled down more than 100 of Ligotti’s videos
citing “inappropriate content” and subsequently cancelling his
account, yet the video hosting site makes “no comments on individual
videos” according to a YouTube spokesperson.
“It’s exciting to be working with a refreshing new 21st
century talent and our team looks forward to being part of discovering
and shaping new pathways of communication as traditional broadcast
mediums mesh with the Internet creating a massive communication source
for the future,” said Balboni Communications President and CEO
Frederick J. Balboni, Jr.
Ligotti enjoys a great deal of support from the men and women who are
serving in Iraq and Afghanistan and in turn makes no mistake about his
support of their efforts to protect his right to be who he is. He is
planning a visit soon to the Walter Reed Army Hospital in Washington,
D.C. and will debut his LIVE touring road show at a USO benefit later
this spring.
