Topical Monologue Jokes Topical Monologue Jokes On Donuts Featuring Dr. Fauci’s Face: Due to the desperate need for facts and science that’s sweeping the Nation in this Coronavirus time, Dr. Fauci is becoming something of a hero. In fact, CNN reported that donuts featuring Dr. Fauci’s face are becoming a hit in NYC…[graphic]: Stephen Colbert: Donuts? New York—you couldn’t think of a healthier food for one second while we’re all trying to stay healthy and improve our immune systems? You couldn’t try carving Dr. Fauci’s face into an eggplant? [Colbert NY accent]: “In honor of this man that provided us with medical truth that ultimately saved the nation from entirely dying out from a deadly virus, here’s some diabetes!" Trevor Noah: People are so into Dr. Fauci right now, it’s crazy. He’s going to become our new mascot, I’m telling you. Like instead of the Easter Bunny, it’ll just be Dr. Fauci sneaking around your house, laying chocolate eggs with his face on them everywhere for you to find. Luckily Christmas will pretty much just be the same: an old white man as the bearer of good things. Fauci isn’t fat like Santa Claus, but after a few of those donuts with his face on them… On Drake’s kid: Trevor Noah: Drake has finally revealed to the public a picture of his kid on social media. [graphic] Here he is: Adonis Graham. Yes, Drake named his kid Adonis—after the mortal that had sex with Aphrodite. Aphrodite! Goddess of love, beauty, and pleasure! ….I see what you’re doing here, Drake. Touché, Drake. Setting up that kid for success. See in South Africa we do the same thing; we name our children in wishful thinking, basically. …That’s why my mom named me “Most-Handsome-And-Funniest-Man-On-Television.” That’s right. What can I say, it works! On quarantine homeschooling: Seth Meyers: Due to the Coronavirus quarantine mandating school closures around the country, many parents have turned to homeschooling. Said little Timmy: Okay but can we save anatomy class for….never? Colbert/Seth: …Many parents have turned to homeschooling. “Okay kids, time for Home Ec class: now go do the dishes, the laundry, and wash my car. …What do you mean that’s just chores? That’s an ‘F’ for you, young man, and you know what an ‘F’ means!!! …..it means clean the gutters.” Lilly Singh: But if you’re a child of immigrants like me, you know exactly how this is going to go: [Indian accent]: “Oh you want to learn at home? When I was young man in India, smart kids who become doctors learn by reading only book we have. *hands you giant dictionary from 1965* Here, read dictionary from beginning to end. Class dismissed.” On gas prices: Colbert: Due to the economical effects of the Coronavirus crisis, CNN reported that gas prices have fallen below $2 a gallon on average in the United States. “Honey can you believe it, gas is so cheap, let’s go fill up our tanks!…what? They’re already full because we haven’t been anywhere in 16 days? ….Well do you wanna drive around the block a few times? No? …..I’ve got it! Gimme all your Tupperware! What’s in this vase!? Sorry, who? Grandma? …Think she’d share?” On April Fool’s: Colbert: Today in April Fool’s news…..please don’t. Today is April Fool’s, folks. The day all fathers expect a heart attack every time their teenage daughters walk into the room. “Dad, I’ve decided to move to Newark and have a baby with my boyfriend, Mario Face Tattoo.” April Fool’s is usually celebrated around the world on the 1st of April—in France, they celebrate with the Poisson d’Avril, or, the Fish of April—in which the French playfully stick images of fishes around the city or on people’s backs. …Yes. The French idea of a joke is…wearing fish? [Colbert French accent]: “Haw haw, Monsieur, I have a funny joke for you. Knock knock…..you have a fish on you. HAW HAW HAW HAW.” On President Trump Testing Negative for Coronavirus: Seth Meyers: President Trump’s White House doctor announced last week that Trump has tested negative for the Coronavirus. Said Trump: “Aww too bad. I wanted to give it to Eric.” Samantha Bee: Said Melania: “Do you care about my desires AT ALL?!?!” On catching the last flight to propose to your girlfriend: Trevor Noah: A man in Cairo managed to catch one of the last flights ever to Canada—to propose to his girlfriend. Aww….But you know what? I’m not sure it’s really that romantic. His girlfriend is Italian. Can you imagine if he didn’t catch the last flight and got stuck apart from her? Have you SEEN those videos of Italian leaders yelling at their citizens for breaking quarantine? They’re so dramatic. His girlfriend would walk to Cairo with a bag full of flamethrowers. On the Dean of Tisch: Colbert: Students of the acclaimed acting school NYU Tisch have asked, via email, for tuition money back due to semester complications from the quarantine—and in response, the Dean of the school sent them a denial of their request, but attached a video of herself dancing to the email. [Video]: [Colbert “actor” character]: “My sorrow *dance move* for your loss of your parents’ money *dance move* to me *dance move* can only be expressed *dance move* through….DANCE. *bow* …Thank you for your donation to the Tisch School of Acting.” / Kids….you’re trying to be ACTORS. As a general rule, when you ask people for money, this WILL be their response. I’m just preparing you for the real world. Refillable Desk Piece Bits & Viral Moments DESK PIECES Concept 1: “Comics That Didn’t Age Well” Type: Multimedia/visual/recurring Summary/Intro: To give us a little respite from the weird pop culture content of our current times, I sometimes like to take a look at the pop culture content of other times, and poke it and prod it and generally take it out of context. See, many things get better with time; cheese, wine, even sometimes people. Other things just get a lot worse or a lot weirder—and one of those things is comics. For this we turn to our next segment: "Comics That Didn’t Age Well.” Examples: a) In the 1950s, apparently “boner” was another way of saying “massive mistake.” …what a boner this segment is! b) How slow a news day is it in Gotham that this is the headline? Of course the day before was all about Batman’s Dick [graphic of Dick Grayson]. c) Course this still isn’t as big a boner as the Cats movie… ironically where they edited out all the boners. a) See here, Aquaman. There’s no excuse for this —you did this on purpose. I’m pretty sure that word meant the same thing back then that it did now. The word “sailor” would have worked just fine! b) More importantly, are there really enough homeless seamen to warrant raising money to give them a clubhouse? That sounds like an excuse Donald Trump would make to justify spending charity money on only the things he wants: “I know lots of seamen, seamen is a big part of my life. I want to give seamen a place to run freely.” According to PBS, Betty Boop, the popular cartoon character introduced to the world by cartoonist Max Fleischer in 1930, was actually inspired by real-life African American jazz singer and entertainer named Esther Jones. Here’s her comic progression… a) And if you read it Japanese style—right to left— she turns white and gets a raise. b) But if you ask me this should have been obvious; no white girl has a butt like that, unless she’s Kim Kardashian. Concept 2: “Headlines That Could Be Euphemisms for Sex” Type: Multimedia/visual/recurring/can be topical Summary/Intro: There’s nothing like a good sex joke. And if Disney movies have taught us anything, it’s that there’s usually sex in more unexpected places than we think—even the news. A boo is as good as a laugh: I will take both. So here we go: these are “Headlines That Could be Euphemisms for Sex.” Examples: a) Alton attorney accidentally sues himself. …but did the attorney sue himself or did he “sue” himself?? Because yeah I accidentally “sue” myself sometimes, I guess, but usually it’s 100% on purpose. ……Also, if you’re looking to hire, I’m very generous: I always work pro bono. a) Porn star sues over rear-end collision: (Imagine Trevor Noah’s innocent character): Well now this one’s just too easy……the porn star and the guy driving the other car ran into each other with their butts! Ha ha! That’s sexy AND funny! ….What?! Gosh you dirty minded people! Get out of here!” Concept 3: “Writer’s Roast” Type: Pre-taped segment/personality/etc Summary/Intro: Writers can be mean. I know mine certainly are. Because I’m their boss! But once in a while I like to flip things around and let them just let loose—let them say whatever it is they need to say about me to get it all out of their systems. Like pointing out the Emperor’s no clothes, but in this case….I have no clothes and am wearing a funny hat on live television.

  • Climate Change Communication in Late-Night Comedy Television
    Fordham University Fordham Research Commons Student Theses 2015-Present Environmental Studies Fall 9-14-2020 Live From New York, It’s Environmental Science! Climate Change Communication in Late-Night Comedy Television Serena A. Ingram Follow this and additional works at: https://research.library.fordham.edu/environ_2015 Live From New York, It’s Environmental Science! Climate Change Communication in Late-Night Comedy Television Serena A. Ingram Abstract This thesis explores why traditional climate change communication often fails in the mainstream news media and how late-night comedy television circumvents these problems. These late-night shows provide humorous news coverage that holds politicians and the press accountable for enabling denialist rhetoric. The first chapter sources data from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and the Yale Project on Climate Change Communication to outline the issues of climate change and public understanding of climate science. The second chapter describes how rhetorical analysis can identify effective or ineffective climate communication strategies. It also discusses the emotional factors that surround climate change, and how humor strengthens communication and unifies individuals toward a common goal. The third chapter addresses the issue of politically spun news and information biases in climate reporting. It details how political figures influence news coverage of climate change and spin the news to reinforce their own agendas. The fourth chapter provides examples and analysis of climate change related segments from Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, The Daily Show with Trevor Noah, and Saturday Night Live’s “Weekend Update.” The fifth chapter applies the principles of late-night comedy and climate change communication to potential government policy and more mainstream television news.

IRONIC FEMINISM: RHETORICAL CRITIQUE IN SATIRICAL NEWS A Dissertation Presented to the Graduate School of Clemson University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy Rhetorics, Communication, and Information Design by Kathy Elrick December 2016 Accepted by Dr. David Blakesley, Committee Chair Dr. Jeff Love Dr. Brandon Turner Dr. Victor J. Vitanza ABSTRACT Ironic Feminism: Rhetorical Critique in Satirical News aims to offer another perspective and style toward feminist theories of public discourse through satire. This study develops a model of ironist feminism to approach limitations of hegemonic language for women and minorities in U.S. public discourse. The model is built upon irony as a mode of perspective, and as a function in language, to ferret out and address political norms in dominant language. In comedy and satire, irony subverts dominant language for a laugh; concepts of irony and its relation to comedy situate the study’s focus on rhetorical contributions in joke telling. How are jokes crafted? Who crafts them? What is the motivation behind crafting them? To expand upon these questions, the study analyzes examples of a select group of popular U.S.

  • The Performance of Intersectionality on the 21St Century Stand-Up
    The Performance of Intersectionality on the 21st Century Stand-Up Comedy Stage © 2018 Rachel Eliza Blackburn M.F.A., Virginia Commonwealth University, 2013 B.A., Webster University Conservatory of Theatre Arts, 2005 Submitted to the graduate degree program in Theatre and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Chair: Dr. Nicole Hodges Persley Dr. Katie Batza Dr. Henry Bial Dr. Sherrie Tucker Dr. Peter Zazzali Date Defended: August 23, 2018 ii The dissertation committee for Rachel E. Blackburn certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: The Performance of Intersectionality on the 21st Century Stand-Up Comedy Stage Chair: Dr. Nicole Hodges Persley Date Approved: Aug. 23, 2018 iii Abstract In 2014, Black feminist scholar bell hooks called for humor to be utilized as political weaponry in the current, post-1990s wave of intersectional activism at the National Women’s Studies Association conference in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Her call continues to challenge current stand-up comics to acknowledge intersectionality, particularly the perspectives of women of color, and to encourage comics to actively intervene in unsettling the notion that our U.S. culture is “post-gendered” or “post-racial.” This dissertation examines ways in which comics are heeding bell hooks’s call to action, focusing on the work of stand-up artists who forge a bridge between comedy and political activism by performing intersectional perspectives that expand their work beyond the entertainment value of the stage. Though performers of color and white female performers have always been working to subvert the normalcy of white male-dominated, comic space simply by taking the stage, this dissertation focuses on comics who continue to embody and challenge the current wave of intersectional activism by pushing the socially constructed boundaries of race, gender, sexuality, class, and able-bodiedness.

  • Apartheid Was Perfect Racism. It Took Centuries to Develop
    « Apartheid was perfect racism. It took centuries to pounds, but the general thrust of it should be easy enough develop, starting all the way back in 1652 when the Dutch for any American to understand. In America you had the East India Company landed at the Cape of Good Hope and forced removal of the native onto reservations coupled with established a trading colony, Kaapstad, later known as slavery followed by segregation. Imagine all three of those Cape Town, a rest stop for ships traveling between Europe things happening to the same group of people at the same and India. To impose white rule, the Dutch colonists went time. That was apartheid.» to war with the natives, ultimately developing a set of laws to subjugate and enslave them. When the British took over the Cape Colony, the descendants of the original Dutch settlers trekked inland and developed their own language, culture, and customs, eventually becoming their own people, the Afrikaners—the white tribe of Africa. The British abolished slavery in name but kept it in practice. They did so because, in the mid-1800s, in what had been written off as a near-worthless way station on the route to the Far East, a few lucky capitalists stumbled upon the richest gold and diamond reserves in the world, and an endless supply of expendable bodies was needed to go in the ground and get it all out. As the British Empire fell, the Afrikaner rose up to claim South Africa as his rightful inheritance. To maintain power in the face of the country’s rising and restless black majority, the government realized they needed a newer and more robust set of tools.

  • JAMES GUNN FIRED Political Correctness Vs Outrage Culture
    JAMES GUNN FIRED Political Correctness vs Outrage Culture written by Julian Breheny V1.2 64 Molesworth St, North Melbourne Victoria, Australia, 3051 646 206 1527 [email protected] INT. STUDIO - NIGHT John Oliver sits at his desk. JOHN OLIVER We're going to take a look at the pros and cons of political correctness in a segment we like to call, 'Will this thanksgiving dinner ever end'... Photo of James Gunn appears behind him. JOHN OLIVER (CONT’D) Disney has FIRED James Gunn over a series of offensive tweets from almost 10 years ago. Is this a win for progressive attitudes and political correctness, or is it an unnecessary casualty of the outrage culture we now live in? We need to ask this question, because they are very different things. Outrage culture is where the media, and the public, love crucifying celebrities in the name of political correctness, but don't seem to actually care about the groups they claim to be protecting. Put simply, they just like acting outraged. So let's break it down. First of all, are the tweets offensive? Photos of the tweets appear with the most offensive parts highlighted. 'Three men and a baby they had sex with a baby' John Oliver turns and looks at the tweets before shuddering. JOHN OLIVER (CONT’D) Yes. Dear God Yes. Offensive and politically incorrect. And look, political correctness IS important. It makes us alter our behaviour so we don't say or do things that hurt marginalised groups. Like this Kelloggs box that made inadvertently racist cover art featuring all white Corn-pops, except for the janitor, who was brown.

  • DISCUSSION GUIDE Born a Crime
    DISCUSSION GUIDE Born a Crime: Stories from a South African Childhood “[Noah’s] electrifying memoir sparkles with funny stories…and his candid and compassionate essays deepen our perception of the complexities of race, gender, and class.” ~ Booklist (starred review) Summary Trevor Noah’s unlikely path from apartheid South Africa to the desk of The Daily Show began with a criminal act: his birth. Trevor was born to a white Swiss father and a black Xhosa mother at a time when such a union was punishable by five years in prison. Living proof of his parents’ indiscretion, Trevor was kept mostly indoors for the earliest years of his life, bound by the extreme and often absurd measures his mother took to hide him from a government that could, at any moment, steal him away. Finally liberated by the end of South Africa’s tyrannical white rule, Trevor and his mother set forth on a grand adventure, living openly and freely and embracing the opportunities won by a centuries-long struggle. Born a Crime is the story of a mischievous young boy who grows into a restless young man as he struggles to find himself in a world where he was never supposed to exist. It is also the story of that young man’s relationship with his fearless, rebellious, and fervently religious mother— his teammate, a woman determined to save her son from the cycle of poverty, violence, and abuse that would ultimately threaten her own life. The stories collected here are by turns hilarious, dramatic, and deeply affecting. Whether subsisting on caterpillars for dinner during hard times, being thrown from a moving car during an attempted kidnapping, or just trying to survive the lifeand- death pitfalls of dating in high school, Trevor illuminates his curious world with an incisive wit and unflinching honesty.

This summer, we invite Northbrook to read Born a Crime: Stories from a South African Childhood by Trevor Noah and then to come together for special community-wide programs around the book’s themes throughout the summer. Last September, library staff met with members of the Village’s Community Relations Commission and other community members who were interested in the project to discuss book titles. We started with 76 suggested titles! We worked with a number of community members and groups to make this project a success, including RAIN (Racial Awareness in the Northshore), the Village of Northbrook’s Community Relations Commission, Glenbrook North High School, Glenbrook South High School, Columbia College, and The Book Bin. In addition to our book discussions, we have many programs for you to enjoy that explore the themes of this year’s book selection, including a musical performance, films, lectures, and even a humorist. We also invite you to visit our lobby from June 30 – July 31 to view pieces from Columbia College’s Anti-Apartheid Movement collection. Learn more or reserve a spot at www.northbrook.info/one-book. 2 About the Book Born a Crime is a comedic autobiographical work chronicling Trevor Noah’s childhood growing up in South Africa in the 1980s. Because Noah’s mom is black, while his dad is white; under apartheid in South Africa, he was literally “born a crime.” For much of Noah’s memoir, he focuses on this idea of people being segregated, by force, or of their own volition.
