The studio became well-known beyond its Chinese-language audience in 2010, when it covered the revelations of Tiger Woods' extramarital affairs and the JetBlue flight attendant incident,[2] and participated in an online video "feud" with Conan O'Brien.[3] It collaborated with The Daily Show with Jon Stewart in creating a satirical depiction of the Wedding of Prince William and Catherine Middleton.
