Colbert and Kimmel are both on. Why are the NBC boys off for at least two weeks?

Just wondering. Says under construction now.

I remember hearing in the background of some late night shows or maybe just talk and variety shows a very distinct laughter that stood out from the crowd. I think maybe it was a producer or comedian? It was like a loud repeating OOh kind of laugh. It always brought me joy. I can’t find a recording or a name of who it might have been. It’s driving me crazy. I know it’s real I remember talking to people about it.Theres this one laugh that I know I remember and I know it’s someone of notoriety in the business. Please help me! I really want to hear that laugh again!

Hello everyone! Will try to keep this short and sweet!

The most important part: I am looking to just hire ONE writer at $50-$100 a month for about 20-50 jokes (ONE-LINERS) a month. I COMPLETELY understand that this is low. I am a young person living in NYC and just started my career and this is all I can afford at this time, but I definitely plan to increase the amount of pay and people as time goes on.

The reason I am hiring a writer: I run a TikTok account where I make jokes about the news. Think Colbert, Daily Show, Seth Meyers, etc - so though this would be a perfect sub to post in. Yes, I am completely aware that this is a saturated field and that I am not the first to do this, but I’ve been extremely passionate about doing this for years and have been making videos for years. I have been growing slow and steadily on TikTok over the past couple months and am trying to grown on Youtube shorts as well. However, I recently realized that if I want to focus on truly growing I need consistency. Due to being in NYC and having a full time job, I’ve found it hard to write and film videos as consistently as I’d like. Especially since I aim to delve into deeper long-form content (think Last Week Tonight) and into the stand-up comedy scene, so I’m investing in a writer to help free up time for these pursuits but still stay relevant and create short form content for social media.

How the partnership would work: FULL CREDIT WILL BE GIVEN TO THE WRITER. I am trying to keep this as professional and transparent as possible. I am not looking to steal jokes with no credit or steal jokes for standup. If you have social media, you will be tagged and credited.

Also, not all the jokes would be used or used as is. I still, of course, want to implement my own voice/jokes as a writer myself and still want to be very involved in writing for the account. I want it to be an overall partnership at the end of the day.

Type of writer I’d like: I would PREFER somebody who is as passionate as I am about politics, comedy, history, pop-culture and pop-culture references. Basically, if you keep up with and find recent events funny and also like history you’d be perfect. Do not care about age or gender but bonus points if you live in NYC! Also bonus points if you know photoshop!

If you’ve read this far, I am hoping that means you might be interested. If you are, feel free to message me on here and I can send you some of MY jokes that I’ve written so you can get a feel of the style I am looking for and just overall break the ice. Then, once you feel comfortable, feel free to send me 3-5 jokes and we can go from there. I WILL NOT STEAL THESE JOKES, and feel free to make them about old headlines if you are paranoid I might since I only make content about recent events.

Thank you for reading this far and please let me know if you have any questions and I will be on the lookout for messages!

I admired Bill Maher's unflinching intellectual integrity for over 20 years, but then when COVID struck and he lost all his income (from his concerts and Mets games), he tried to convince us that COVID (which killed 1,000,000 and disabled 4,000,000) was no big deal.

His "gut" told him that a horse dewormer would cure COVID. He was willing to kill thousands of people to boost attendance to his concerts and his Mets games.

I'm 74 and I got COVID, and I got over it quickly because I had five vaccinations. If I had followed Maher's advice, I could have died.

The New England Journal of Medicine published spent a lot of time and money studying the effect of Ivermectin on 3515 COVID patients, and concluded that Ivermectin doesn't help at all.

for me it's

1. John Oliver
2. Kimmel
3. Fallon
4. Stephen colbert
5. seth meyers

I genuinely like his show, and the debate, but does his opinion actually matter? A wealthy celebrity without children or a spouse, he has no vested interest in the future of this country. True he seems passionate but has no skin in the game.

If this country goes down, it will not affect him whatsoever and he has the ability o move to another country on a whim.

Should his opinion matter?

Tonight I see a guest who Colbert referred to last week where he showed a clip to the guest of someone he was having as a guest this week, but the monologue was referring to events that happened today. Which audience is there tonight? Is a different guest being recorded tonight with a different audience than the one I’m watching now during the interview?

Bill Carter (author of The Late Shift and The War For Late Night) just launched a new site dedicated to news about late night TV. It's kind of like Variety or The Hollywood Reporter, only just late night:
