My brain keeps says accessible, but that’s a little clinical. Maybe inviting or magnetic?

I was very proud of the statement put out by the WGA and am so honored to be a part of that union.

I also have no idea where we go from here, but I hope we can work to preserve this form of comedy — it’s worth staying up late for 🧵

So to see a juggernaut like The Late Show getting cancelled, despite having strong ratings and being helmed by Colbert (one of the greatest to do it, imo) feels like getting socked in the heart. I don’t know what it means for the rest of late night, or TV for that matter ⬇️

Even though I haven’t fully taken the jump into late-night, I’m in love with its form, style, and people; I love what it’s taught me as a creative; I love opening monologues, bits, and interviews; and I love how making it happen feels like trying to lasso a moment in time ⬇️

I had the privilege of shadowing TLLS’s director Tim, who had also previously worked in daytime. I felt like a kid again watching it all come together, like I was somehow back on the couch with my mom and behind the camera at the same time ⬇️

I realized that late-night is a genre that shares a lot of that breakneck, seat-of-your-pants production style with daytime. You only have a certain amount of time to get what you need. You hustle, you learn, and if you fuck up, that’s okay — that’s what tomorrow was for ⬇️

On an early visit to LA, I stepped on a set for the first time. It was to see Craig Ferguson, and I loved every minute of it.

Later, when working in daytime, The Late Late Show filmed below us. I hung out down there when I had a minute and gained friends I still have today ⬇️

In college, I’d fall in love with the way journalism intersected with late-night. I watched John Stewart and his crew guide us through elections, controversy, catastrophe, and do their best to make us pay attention, but also keep us from walking directly into traffic ⬇️

When I got a TV in my own room, I watched three things: late-night, Whose Line, and anime.

(Why yes, I was so cool with so many friends)

But even if I didn’t always get the jokes in the opening monologue, I knew it made people laugh. And if they were laughing, they were paying attention ⬇️

Annnnd another L for journalism

Oh hell yeah, congrats Guy!!
