When you can survive the meat grinder of the news cycle AND late night comedy for over 1600 episodes....you must be pretty good at your job.
On this episode we go into the writers room of one of the most successful late night TV shows of the modern age, welcome to 'The Daily Show'.
It's never 'old hat' for head writer Dan Amira who has been nominated (and won) at the Emmys on multiple occasions. We talk about the evolution of show over the years, the stress of having to throw out something you've already written based on some news that just came down the wire, the importance of research and working on his dream job.
'The Daily Show' airs on Comedy Central in the States, CTV here in Canada and shows up the next day on Paramount Plus everywhere.
