Host Lori Harfenist

“The Resident” takes a look at life and culture with an irreverent punch. Lori unravels today’s complicated world by asking the compelling questions everyone’s thinking — but is too afraid to ask: “Hey Wall Street, where’s my money?” “Who’s afraid of Kim Jong-il?” And the question no one else would dare ask at the International Gift Fair, “Who needs this sh*t?!”

“The Resident” started in 2000 in the 10 to 10:30PM Monday night slot on public access in NYC, and quickly became a cult favorite with its unique, rebellious, weekly content. Since then it has:

- Garnered over 25 million video views online and growing.
- Become one of YouTube’s All-Time Most Subscribed Reporters.
- Been one of YouTube’s Top 100 original content partners.
- Aired on NBC, PlanetGreen, CNN, DirectTV, RT, and other national and international networks.

As a professional video producer/talent, Lori knows how to track down hot stories, assemble a crew, and make good content happen. She also writes, shoots, edits, has her own green screen production studio, and can deliver a complete, thoroughly entertaining, package: fast!
