Past work and shows produced by Julie Smith Clem
stuff you should know
Science Channel. 10 Episodes. 2013.
Roles: Executive Producer. Showrunner. Writer.
Stuff You Should Know was a scripted comedic television series, adapted from the successful podcast of the same name.
“With its “for nerds, by nerds” mentality, Science’s new series Stuff You Should Know asserts its bona fides. Here’s a reality show that may actually teach you something.”
“Not only is Onion News Network a very good show; it’s a very good show that could easily have been a very bad show. Busting with jokes, it’s the surprisingly rare cross-medium translation that actually adds something to the mix.”

IFC Channel. 20 Episodes. 2011.
Roles: Executive Producer. Showrunner
The Onion News Network was a television show on IFC from 2010–2011, running 20 episodes over two seasons. The TV series was an expansion of the Peabody Award-winning web video series from The Onion.
“Having made a well-deserved name for themselves on the Web, the folks at the Onion are looking to conquer television — and off to a promising start with Onion SportsDome, a wry spoof of ESPN’s SportsCenter... the slickly produced half-hour is witty enough to serve as a logical lead-in to The Daily Show and its skewering of cable news.”
