Why do you want to write for Late Night Television? 

I want to write for Late Night Television because I'm a child of TV.  My greatest excitement came from the start of the new TV season each fall (which blunted the whole "back to school" thing).  I can still recall when my biggest treat was being able to stay up late to watch Johnny Carson on the Tonight Show.  NBC was my comedy school.  Between Laugh-In, Tonight, Bob Hope specials and, finally, SNL, I felt like was getting glimpses behind the curtain to the world of comedy show business.  It was in college I finally thought about writing as a real thing.

However, for some time, I was seduced by the glamour of writing spec scripts and putting them in bottles and sending them to Hollywood over the years.  Thusly I devoted my time and energy to screenplays (not to mention procreating).  But the joy of sketch comedy never left me.  Whether it was for the college revue, some third-world black-box theater, public access TV or the cutting edge world of radio, I continued writing sketch material and managed to impress people with my skill (Although not anyone with actual pull). 

​Now with the TV landscape changing yet again and new opportunities arising, it's time to throw my hat into the ring, and not just because I like playing hat ring.  Sketch comedy is the best way to entertain people and goof on pop culture.  There's no bigger rush than getting that perfect idea to comment on the latest news cycle bugaboo and hanging the powers-that-be on their own petard (Is it still okay to say petard?).  So maybe all of this is just my mid-life crisis talking, but as mid-life crisis go, it’s pretty benign.  Would you fault me for that?
