Late Night Television.

Late Night Television is some of the funniest stuff on TV. It is every comedians dream to host a Late Night show, so you can imagine to type of effort a lot of they put in. They are doing what they love every day, and it's my ultimate number one fantasy to do what they do. So I look up to them. I draw inspiration from some of these comedians, and hope that I can walk away from an episode with momentum and with a more educated approach to my work. Let's take a look.

1. Conan O'Brien.

I've been watching a lot of Conan O'Brien lately. He appeals to me for many reasons. First off, he is very spontaneous, which is what my humor is. He's very quick and on his feet. Conan also a very pokes fun at current pop culture, which can never get old. His show also does ridiculous, "inside jokes" (like his blimp), which makes him have a more unifying, hilarious fan base. And last but not least, he really loves and enjoys his job, and he's a great guy in general, with a lovely attitude.


2. Jon Stewart.

I have been a Jon for about 3 years now. I started watching him because of the hilarious way he covered the 2008 presidential election between Barack Obama and John McCain. Ever since, he has never failed to humor me. Jon Stewart is sarcastic, and intelligent, and mocks current events. He especially helps when you, yourself are wondering "What is going on in our world?". Especially in our politics today. His jokes are witty, but yet, have wisdom to everyone. Even if you are not a liberal nor left leaning, he has a bipartisan sense that not all journalists have now a days.


3. Jimmy Kimmel

Jimmy Kimmel absolutely cracks me up. His dry, blatantly sarcastic humor gets me every time. It's almost ridiculous. In his segments and skits, Jimmy Kimmel acts like a complete fool, and he makes it work. Aside from his skits, Jimmy Kimmel jabs our pop culture, with observational styled comedy, making clever and sarcastic remarks about the latest gossip.
