Jokes On News

This week we get into Trump’s not-quite Nobel, live-streamed firing squads, the handsome blandness of Jon Ossoff, and Kimberly Guilfoyle’s Guil-foibles™.

Asher and Michael are joined by extremely special guests who also worked on The Late Show: fellow writer Jen (the Jeninator) Spyra and former executive producer Tom (the Bom) Purcell. Those are not their nicknames; no one has ever called them that.

A podcast about news... with jokes! It's like if a late night writers meeting was, well, a podcast. Emmy-winning comedy writers, Eliana Kwartler, Michael Cruz Kayne, Asher Perlman, and Steve Waltien, from The Late Show with Stephen Colbert are your hosts.

Also, for paid Substack subscribers, we do a special BONUS segment on Trump doxing his “friend,” US Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR).
