IKEA opens its doors... to Mark.

Mark Malkoff needed a place to stay. His NYC apartment was being fumigated and none of his friends could accommodate him because they all have tiny studios. So, he did what any of us would do... he contacted IKEA. IKEA has been known to open it's doors for an evening so people can "test drive" furniture but this is pushing the envelope... 7 full days. At first, he didn't think they'd oblige but they did. And it's all captured for our viewing pleasure on YouTube of course.

"Mark moved in early morning Monday January 7th to the IKEA in Paramus, New Jersey and will stay for the week through Saturday January 12th. Every day people can watch a video recap of his day. He will be living in IKEA 24/7 and eating all his meals in the restaurant (he may order Domino's take out once or twice). Thankfully they have a shower for him in the back offices.

Mark currently works as the audience coordinator on Comedy Central's "The Colbert Report" and is also known to have visited all 171 Starbucks located in Manhattan in a single day.
