Pavlik, Ph.D And approved by ___Michael Schudson, Ph.D.___ ____Jack Bratich, Ph.D.______ ____Susan Keith, Ph.D.______ ______________________________ New Brunswick, New Jersey MAY 2011 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Political Satire and Political News: Entertaining, Accidentally Reporting or Both? The Case of The Daily Show with Jon Stewart (TDS) by ELENA-DANIELA (DANA) NEACSU Dissertation Director: John V. Pavlik, Ph.D. For the last decade, The Daily Show with Jon Stewart (TDS ), a (Comedy Central) cable comedy show, has been increasingly seen as an informative, new, even revolutionary, form of journalism. A substantial body of literature appeared, adopting this view. On closer inspection, it became clear that this view was tenable only in specific circumstances. It assumed that the comedic structure of the show, TDS ’ primary text, promoted cognitive polysemy, a textual ambiguity which encouraged critical inquiry, and that TDS ’ audiences perceived it accordingly. As a result I analyzed, through a dual - encoding/decoding - analytical approach, whether TDS ’ comedic discourse educates and informs its audiences in a ii manner which encourages independent or critical reading of the news. Through a multilayered textual analysis of the primary and tertiary texts of the show, the research presented here asked, “How does TDS ’ comedic narrative (primary text) work as a vehicle of televised political news?” and “How does TDS ’ audience decode its text?” The research identified flaws in the existing literature and the limits inherent to any similar endeavors.

  • Drew Barrymore and Adam Sandler Are Cracking Up. Sitting Across From
    Drew Barrymore and Adam Sandler are cracking up. Sitting across from each other in a booth at a Hooters restaurant in Lawrenceville, Georgia, the longtime friends have reunited here on the set of Blended, their third romantic comedy together, which opens with the scene they are currently shooting: a blind date between two recently single parents that goes from awkward to I- never-want-to-see-you-again in less time than it takes to share a plate of hot wings. Thanks to some mildly un-chivalrous behavior on the part of Jim, the schlubby sporting goods salesman played by Sandler, Barrymore’s character Lauren, a tightly- wound business owner, is forced to hurriedly chug his French onion soup, which she winds up spilling all over her pearls and prim white blouse. Sandler and Barrymore manage to keep straight faces as she deftly dribbles the soup down her chin and soaks her shirtfront, but as soon as director Frank Coraci calls “Cut!” the actors erupt into laughter. They’ve shot multiple takes, each more entertaining than the last, but Barrymore wants to keep going, to try and make the bit even funnier. “Drew’s comedy chops are at an all-time high,” says Coraci, who directed the duo in their first project together, the smash 1998 hit The Wedding Singer. (He also directed Sandler in his breakout success, The Waterboy, and the 2006 comedy Click.) “The Wedding Singer was Drew’s first straight-up comedy, and over the years she’s really honed her comedy skills. She has become a pro that can go toe-to-toe with Adam, as you can see in Blended, where she has to do a lot of heavy lifting in terms of the physical comedy.” A few months later, hanging out with a reporter in Sandler’s office, he and Barrymore are riffing on each other’s jokes and finishing each other’s sentences with the ease of two people who truly get a kick out of each other.

  • Celebrity Health: the Heart of a Comedian
    CTW Features | Comedian Kevin Nealon battles atrial fibrillation. Celebrity Health: The heart of a comedian By Lisa Iannucci Sunday May 3, 2015 12:01 AM Thirteen years ago, comedian Kevin Nealon just wanted to impress a girl. "I was in Mexico in the pool with my then-girlfriend and I wanted to show her my virility and athleticism," he said. "But when I got out of the pool my heart took off like a herd of horses." There was nothing funny about what happened next. Nealon ended up in the emergency room, where the doctors had to use the defibrillation paddles to shock his heart back to a regular rhythm. He then was diagnosed with atrial fibrillation and put on blood thinner medication, which reduces the risk of stroke. According to the Atrial Fibrillation Association, atrial fibrillation is a very rapid and possibly irregular heartbeat. It has been estimated that 2.2 million Americans have it. It is more common as you get older, but it can start at any age. Symptoms include palpitations, or awareness of the heartbeat, which may be rapid; fatigue; shortness of breath; dizziness; and/or chest pain. "My symptoms were under control for seven years and then started coming back," said the 61-year-old who started his career on "Saturday Night Live" in 1986. During his 11-year stint on the show that recently celebrated its 40th anniversary, Nealon was remembered for the various characters he portrayed, including the Subliminal Man and Hans and Franz, and anchoring "Weekend Update." "It was fun to bring back Hans and Franz for a recent commercial with the Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers," Nealon said.

  • HBO Honors the Life of Legendary Comedian in the Documentary the ZEN DIARIES of GARRY SHANDLING
    HBO Honors the Life of Legendary Comedian in the Documentary THE ZEN DIARIES OF GARRY SHANDLING Directed by Judd Apatow, the two part documentary airs its first part on July 2nd. MIAMI, FL., June 27, 2018 - When Garry Shandling passed away in 2016, he was widely remembered as a top stand-up comic and the star of two of the most innovative sitcoms in TV history. But to those who knew him, the “real” Garry Shandling was a far more complex person. Now, Apatow has created a remarkable portrait of this iconic comedian in the four-and-a-half-hour documentary THE ZEN DIARIES OF GARRY SHANDLING, which debuts in two parts Monday, July 2 (21hrs*) and Tuesday, July 3 (21hrs*) on HBO and HBO GO. From childhood tragedy to heartbreak, professional betrayal and unexpected physical trauma, to his emergence as a powerful teacher, friend and guiding spirit for a new generation of talent, Apatow’s documentary not only chronicles one man’s ability to survive the ups and downs of a life in show business, but also offers a profound investigation into the power of comedy to elevate the human spirit. Shandling made the leap from the pinnacle of stand-up success, appearing on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson, to develop his comic persona into something that would redefine television comedy. Realizing that one of his strengths as a standup was simply the ability to “talk to people,” he created a show where talking to the audience was the central focus. It’s Garry Shandling’s Show was a decade ahead of its time, the first modern “meta”-sitcom that brought him a new legion of devoted fans and elevated his profile in the industry.
