About Bad TV Bingo
Matt & Kiwi Callahan
Co-creators
Real-life childhood sweethearts, Matt and Kiwi are conservatory-trained actors with multiple careers spanning marketing, filmmaking, and tech. They concepted, designed, and produced Bad TV Bingo games entirely on their own, and continue to run it out of their tiny New York City apartment (Bianca, their rescue chihuahua, helps out between naps and treats).
How it all started
One night while watching TV (and after a few glasses of wine), they did something they'd never done before: They flipped to a Hallmark Christmas movie.
And then they watched another one.
And another one.
And then, a Eureka moment hit them.
They ran to the kitchen, grabbed a notepad and two pens, and scribbled down what would be the first Bad Christmas Movie Bingo board. What started as a private holiday tradition for Matt & Kiwi soon spread like wildfire, branched out into multiple versions, and has gone from a digital download to a real-life, sold-in-stores success story.
