Behind the scenes of the Holderness family’s viral videos | New York Post

“Quarantine Queen” Kim Holderness and husband Penn are giving the world much-needed relief with their coronavirus comedy. Their latest Broadway-themed video was released this week featuring parodies from “Hamilton” and “Wicked.” The husband-and-wife duo sat down for an exclusive interview with the New York Post to reveal what really happens behind the scenes during the making of their videos. Based in Raleigh, North Carolina, the talented pajama-dancing team shared how the concepts come to life, as well as the first thing they will do when quarantine is over.

This interview doesn’t do the Holdernesses justice (unless there’s an article with more detail). These guys are so creative and ridiculous, they’ve had me in tears laughing so hard - many times. Check out the videos on their channel/s. They’re so consistently funny, they’ll become one of the main channels you follow.

You are an amazing people.

[@dedehans]

You all bring laughter and happiness into our caves....um, homes.

I don't know if you see these posts or not. But I had not heard of you before the quarantine. I can't tell you how much of my quarantine time I have spent with you guys. I can't believe how much content you have on youtube and I am enjoying working my way through it. What I enjoy so much about your videos is how much fun you seem to have making them. Penn seems to be a big kid at heart, and these videos are his playtime--with the whole family joining in the fun. You have kept me smiling over the past month. Keep the videos coming.

[@ClareB78]

The Holderness family are genuinely helping me get through lockdown. Them and snacks.

[@lisavasas2296]

I did not know of you guys and your videos before the quarantine. These videos brighten my day each day. I even listened to them while I was sewing masks for the quarantine for my friends and family that needed. I think I pretty much have your songs memorized , lol. Keep them coming, they are great !

[@JengiX]

I come home from a long day at the grocery store (oh, man), and this family makes me smile as I unwind and relax! Thanks, ladies and gents!!

[@theholdernessfamily]

I serve as leadership development trainer and coach (in lower Michigan). Some of my leadership clients are holding down 2 full time jobs - while home school teaching their kids. I too m changing as I converting my face to face trainings to virtual offerings. Your videos are sent to my clients regularly (and I watch them too as I love humor as well to reach out to people) I send your video links to encourage and support leaders and to help relate to what their people are experiencing , and to laugh with and empathize with those whom they lead! No matter what level a person is at work, a crisis equalizes us all.. People need to feel connected - so thank for connecting and helping us to keep in sight- what matters mos! We can laugh at our common struggles, and see what we can create together with some fun and connections with each other! Thank you for making d my work- with leaders more fun!

[@kathyk8310]

Hi

[@marypatton1122]

Your home schooled kids are hoping they don't have the same teacher next year. Here's hoping they never call in a bomb threat. After all, they will have to live in the aftermath. Here's hoping they don't get expelled for fighting. (That would be like putting them up for adoption if they get kicked out of school and get new teachers. (Oh boy, this is complicated.) 😜
