She began her on-screen career as the first anchor of the online daily news show, Rocketboom, which she hosted and produced until 23 June 2006. Involvement with RocketboomCongdon began as Rocketboom's anchor with the show's 26 October 2004 debut. The show went from an initial 700 viewers in 2004 to 70,000 viewers in the first ten months. BusinessWeek labeled it "the most popular site of its kind on the Net".[2] More viewers visited Rocketboom after an 11 June 2006 interview with Congdon on CNN.[3] Rocketboom's audience continued to increase, going from 100,000 vlog viewers at the end of 2005 to 300,000 by the spring of 2006. Departure from RocketboomOn 5 July 2006, Congdon released a video statement on her blog, announcing her departure from the show.[4] Andrew Baron, majority stakeholder of Rocketboom, stated she was leaving the show to "pursue opportunities ... in Hollywood"[5] and Joanne Colan stepped in as Congdon's replacement. Congdon claims that she was fired.[6] Amanda Across AmericaCongdon's first endeavor after Rocketboom was AmandaAcrossAmerica.com, a blog based on Congdon's travels through America in a hybrid vehicle. The journey took a circuitous route with stops in New York, Connecticut, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Tennessee, D.C., Missouri, Wisconsin, Arizona and California. Now living in California, Congdon and her husband, Mario Librandi, opened a restaurant called Vegan Mario's. The restaurant serves vegan food for lunch daily, upon which Congdon initially planned to create a website series.[7] References1. ^Rocketboom : thursday august 04, 2005 : special feature {{authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Congdon, Amanda}}2. ^{{Cite news |publisher=Business Week|url=http://www.businessweek.com/magazine/content/05_36/b3949087_mz063.htm|title=Rocketboom's Powerful Lift-Off }} 3. ^{{cite news |publisher=CNN |url=http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0606/11/rs.01.html |title=Transcript of Howard Kurtz interview with Amanda Congdon |date=2006-06-11 }} 4. ^Amanda Unboomed - "Announces retirement from RocketBoom" 5. ^{{cite news |url = http://www.mediaweek.com/mw/news/interactive/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1002800110|publisher=MediaWeek |first=Mike |last=Shields |date=2006-07-05 |title=Congdon Flames Out at Rocketboom }} 6. ^Amanda UnBoomed: For the Record 7. ^{{cite news |url=http://www.noozhawk.com/article/042911_the_working_life_amanda_congdon |title=The Working Life: Amanda Congdon a Virtual Expert in Video Blogging |date=2011-04-29 |accessdate=2015-11-06 |publisher=Nooz Hawk}} 17 : 1981 births|Living people|American women bloggers|American bloggers|American women comedians|American television personalities|Actresses from New York City|Northwestern University alumni|American reporters and correspondents|Video bloggers|Women video bloggers|Participants in American reality television series|Journalists from New York City|Comedians from New York City|American women non-fiction writers|21st-century American non-fiction writers|21st-century American comedians |
