Do you think a 31-year-old wedding florist from the suburbs of Chicago could restart her comedy writing career at this point? Asking for a friend.

Do you watch the Tonight Show now? Any of the late night shows? If so, how do you feel about the quality of writing?

I think it’s interesting that each show has to have their own content agenda, which essentially sets the stage for the show and the star as a whole. Is that something that develops over time or, in your experience, does it take shape right off the bat?

I think there are a bunch of reasons: keeping things fresh, looking for new perspectives, adapting to new material, i.e. more of a political angle than entertainment. Also I think writing for these shows is an incredibly high stress job. I’m sure there’s a lot of burn out.
