Poking and Jabbing: Writing Political Comedy in an Age of Discord

With Lewis Black, Jessi Klein, W. Kamau Bell. Moderator: Jason Zinoman, Comedy Critic, The New York Times.

“Late at Night, Comedy Gets Pointed and Political,” the New York Times announced in a recent article, asserting that today’s intensely polarized political culture has redefined late-night television comedy. That’s where we come in: One week before the presidential election, the Paley Center and the Writers Guild of America East have formed a winning ticket, assembling this dynamic panel of topical comedians for a provocative, insightful, and sometimes just downright hilarious look at the state of political comedy in 2012 America.

Where: The Paley Center for Media
