How to Write 100 Jokes for Late Night TV in a Slow News Cycle

[@jasonbidwell1221]

Hey Jerry, possible improvement on my last pro/con with some word play: Pro: In football, Tom Brady is a really good quarterback Con: In jail, Tom Brady is a really wide receiver

[@yokenspokes]

Jerry, I have gotten your "late night writing " course and I freaking love it!!!! Man this has open my eyes up.... I'm having a ball. I can listen to this in my car or with earphones . Thank you so much for putting the course together !! I enjoy writing now more then ever!!! Thank you !!,!

[@josephbarclayross6216]

Jerry, your mom here is really getting on my nerves.

[@markrogers6702]

Thank you so much for this. I'm a workshopper who hasn't open mic'ed yet. My issue is organizing my writing and this really helps.

[@605gbird]

Mark Rogers did you open mic yet?

[@markrogers6702]

@@605gbird No, life got in the way. I'm looking to start this year. Two months tops.

[@605gbird]

Mark Rogers You can do it! It'll be fun!

[@markrogers6702]

@@605gbird Thanks! I really want to but I've got to sort out my issues with the VA right now. I'm so grateful when working comics give us newbies encouragement. It really means a lot.

[@jasonbidwell1221]

Jerry, your recognition inspired me to write two more Pros/Cons: Pro: In football, if Tom Brady slips one finger offside he'll get a yellow flag and a foul. Con: In jail, if Tom Brady slips one finger inside he'll get a rainbow flag and smell foul. Pro: In football, without protection Tom Brady may get a sack. Con: In jail Tom Brady may get a sack... without protection. Pro: In football Tom Brady was always a good quarterback. Con: In jail, he'll start off as a tight end but end up as a wide receiver.

Always learn powerful and useful things to apply to my comedy build from your offerings, Jerry.

Great stuff. Your structures and techniques really simplify this stuff to a beginner like myself. Thank you

[@guicosta5829]

You are a legend of hard work, Jerry. Bought your book and I'm loving it. Comedy is much more clear to me, now. And I'm starting to enjoy it so much more!

[@naterusscomedy]

Good stuff Jerry. Just discovered you yesterday on the hot breath podcast. Watched a few of your videos and it’s got me motivated to write new jokes.

[@davidemiable]

thank you so much. This is so well explained.

[@artyedmond8972]

This was incredibly helpful. I'm not much of a comedian/writing yet, but I've been working on it. Thank you for sharing

[@yamnehroncero4238]

Tom Brady's suspension is like a friend going to jail. It would be pretty good news for the inmates because Tom Brady really knows how to deflate balls.

[@5065ca]

Y Roncero 😂

[@cameronharris5884]

Your content is top quality. Thank you, Jerry.

[@Eyelewzz]

Thanks for all the info I'm going for my first open mic later this week

[@alghanekar313]

I love your videos. You walk the walk. I have learned a lot and continue to learn about joke construction.

[@mdougf]

Great stuff!

[@ChannelOfDiscord]

"It's like one of your buddies going to jail." So, Edelman's feeling deflated again ... however Brady says he looks forward to playing receiver for a bit. (4 years later)

[@Blueodonata]

Thanks Jerry.

[@rounak.rsakhare5946]

thanks for the great video.

[@robertrodriguez5553]

Incredible, and vital information for the starting or toying with the idea of becoming a comedian

[@MegaKarume]

That's cool stuff well explained. Thank you Jerry.

[@boodro2122]

So technical, so methodical and scientific. You've got this broken down into a science. I'm just starting out and I operate differently, but no doubt you've nailed down the formula. My next open mic is April, 3rd 2019. It'll be my second. I'm still trying to become comfortable onstage. It's coming to me quickly. So many variables, but I am an enthusiast. I will pursue this harder with every fiber in my being. Right now, my local comedy club is 5 to 7 mins on stage. And after my next act you'll understand my perception of it! :-) I'm having a lot of fun at this point and just currently delving into your videos, but they are certainly helpful. Much love from Kansas. Hope to see you later on down the track!

[@boodro2122]

Very smart. I like it.

[@ChrisTurnerLand]

The Fallon pros con stuff was great!

[@deborahklein7777]

Excellent...how do I pitch my jokes

[@ShutUpFootball]

In football, the ball carrier is called the running back. In jail, it's called your mouth. ...Okay, dirtier than I mean to be but thanks for making this video! Very informative. Great stuff.

[@Chris-bc4hb]

Amazing! I wish I found this a long time ago!

[@Opochtli]

Loved it!

[@PROTOPROTOMMXXIV]

[@SirBamBam404]

[@josephhernandez3067]

[@angelodcollazo]

That was amazing!

[@DhavalDatarcomedian]

hey I watched your videos and they really helpful.. so I have a show in different city and some of my joke are local to my home town so how can I work them in another city. I want to do them because they give a really good response .. :) please help. thank you

[@josephhernandez3067]

Nice video

[@andyllocomotive3253]

I'm only 15 but I was wondering how do I get into writing comedy once my high school years are over? Like where do I start?

[@zhaus3298]

Tom Brady's suspension is a lot like a friend going to Jail...you see him on the 6 0'clock news, and you think what an idiot (Meh, I tried)

[@hairbiopi1240]

Brother Hamish lmfao

[@CraigGilman]

Helpful but as I'm not really knowledgeable about your post colonial hand egg game.. a bit like Rugby in body armour. I was a bit lost. The technique was useful. But the reference went way over my head

[@freddieevans7876]

great example for a comic who needs advice

[@tonysmilemusic7714]

2:00 events cliches people place things

[@felicity4711]

Football = pros, jail = cons!

[@violenceisfun991]

There's way more tattoos... In the NFL

[@josephbarclayross6216]

Anal rape is a really cheap way to get laughs ... in football.

[@poptawt9]

Wow these jokes are incredibly racist!
