YouTube knows *exactly* what it’s doing with its algorithm on my homepage:

showing me a freshly uploaded recording of a random high school’s full production of Mary Poppins that’s sitting at <200 views

so so SO excited to be selected as a sketch comedy writer on Maude Night at UCBNY this year!❤️‍🔥

In a year where only 8 new writers were added across all of the teams, I am beyond floored and proud to be chosen.

I cannot WAIT to write silly silly things for this precious stage with my new teammates!

I thought the performances in The Apprentice (2024) were truly amazing.

You could say I’m a strong Strong/Stan stan.

While I’m sure many of the ideas in my sample script could never actually be allowed to happen on national television, I hope it gives a somewhat clear picture of my POV & my decades of obsession with Conan’s sense of humor. I ran the Late Night fansite when I was 15, after all.

I learned that the new sweeping 3hr 40min A24 history epic The Brutalist is written and directed by Brady Corbet, the guy who played Mason in 2003 teen drama Thirteen!!! My guy won Best Director at Venice & will likely get Oscar noms…the millennials are thriving 🙏🏻🙏🏻🎉🎉

Hey so I really really really want to be part of the writing team for Conan O’Brien’s upcoming Oscars hosting, I feel like my whole life has been leading up to this, I pursued comedy writing because of him & now do it for real & I LOVE the Oscars😭
Here’s me as a teen

Can always count on my man to be an incredible creep in a three-episode run on literally any television drama series from the past 15 years

Saw fond reminiscing online about VH1’s I Love the 90s, so I have a moral obligation to bring up one of my fave similar “listicle” series…

Bravo’s 100 Scariest Movie Moments!! I DVR’d and rewatched it every Halloween over & over as, like, a 12-year-old.

A HUGE horror education!🖤🖤

Craziest detail I learned at the world premiere screening of the Sopranos documentary tonight is that they were forced to call the Seasons 6A and 6B because if they called it Season 7 HBO would have had to pay everyone more and didn’t want to 🙃

Why is Julie Klausner celebrating violence against pro-Palestinian protesters and upholding fascist Tom Cotton’s sentiments????
April 18, 2024 at 7:06 PM
Okay comedy friends…WHAT is going on with Julie Klausner????

Seeing her enthusiastic support for genocidal Zionist pro-Israel stuff over these past few months has been so so depressing. The B*rlow one is from today.

I was such a fan and truly thought she was better than this
