Back by popular demand, this late night writing panel, featuring the comic forces behind New York’s late night institutions, focuses on the process of creating topical humor straight from the 24-hour news cycle.
Writers and producers from New York’s late night staples The Late Show with David Letterman, The Daily Show, The Colbert Report, Saturday Night Live, and Late Night with Jimmy Fallon share their experiences and provide their take on the current state of the genre.
Date: Wednesday, October 23rd at 8:30PM

“Live from New York …” is Saturday Night Live‘s proprietary catchprase, but those four iconic words might just as easily more broadly describe the bestand brightest of American comedy — period. Within a three-block radius in midtown Manhattan lies the home bases for Saturday Night Live, The DailyShow, The Colbert Report, and Late Night With Jimmy Fallon. So it only makes sense that during the comically fertile election season, the New York Television Festival is celebrating the talent behind those shows with a special discussion panel, “Long Day’s Journey Into Late Night: 2012 Election Edition – The Politics of Funny.”
NBC’s Willie Geist will welcome a Barry Julien (head writer, The Colbert Report), Steve Bodow (co-executive producer and former head writer, The Daily Show), Colin Jost (co-head writer, Saturday Night Live), and A.D. Miles (head writer, Late Night) for a lively discussion about their favorite moments from the 2012 campaign so far and their take on the current state of the late-night genre.
Date: Tuesday, October 23rd at 8:30PM
Location: 92Y Tribeca Main Stage
Tickets: [Free]
