article screenshot: I’m on record with a mixture of deep appreciation and jealousy for the amount of televised creative outlets afforded to comics in the UK. I’m sure this is an incredibly sugar-coated view, and I’m sure that there’s an incredibly buffet of shit to be eaten in the comedy business no matter where you are. What I think the United States comedy scene is sorely lacking is the panel shows that not only provide screentime to comedians, but do so while asking nothing of them than to be funny in the way that they naturally are. What I think is so centrally appealing and pays such dividends across the cornucopia of these sorts of shows is that they are, by nature, only the loosest of constraints. What Britain seems to have when it comes to their comedians that America could bear to develop is any sort of confidence in their ability to be funny. Whether it’s QI or Would I Lie To You or any number of so-and-so countdowns, it’s all nothing more than a springboard for the talent to, well, actually display their talent. In the U.S., it feels like the entertainment industry has no idea what to do with somebody who’s funny. Unless they’re already a cardboard cutout easily propped in the back of a mediocre sitcom and fed a catchphrase to parrot, they’re inscrutable as to their usage. Watching the U.S. try to capitalize on homegrown comedic talent is like peering into a kitchen that refuses to make anything but Chicken Parmesan, regardless of whether the groceries available to them include chicken or parmesan cheese.
this week wrote about UK panel shows and why I wish we had them here, but we never will www.humbleoffering.com/the-right-ki...
i mean the PR emails pitching stories definitely come in bunches but there’s also a level of risk reporting this stuff out vs like the “some cool event is happening we’d love you to cover” that imo would be make any writer bury it offhand w/o instruction from above to cover it
and if you don’t eat it within 5 seconds of being made it literally feels like you pulled it out of the trash??
whatever you think of the democrats’ election strategy, one thing that is undeniably working is texting Eli Yudin 16 times a day

Thing that really gets my goat is the way people are eager to fund this bullshit but you need eleven layers of analysis and a ton of collateral if you want to open a small grocery store in a food desert.
