Trump Leads the Joke Race CENTER FOR MEDIA AND PUBLIC AFFAIRS GEORGE MASON UNIVERSITY May 4, 2017 Contact: Dr. S. Robert Lichter 202-302-5523; [email protected] TRUMP JOKES SET RECORD FOR FIRST 100 DAYS During his first hundred days, Donald Trump attracted over 1000 jokes from leading late- night TV talk show hosts, more jokes than other recent presidents attracted in their entire first year in office, according to a new study released by the Center for Media and Public Affairs (CMPA) at George Mason University. The study also found that Stephen Colbert told the most jokes about Trump among leading talk show hosts. According to CMPA Director Dr Robert Lichter, “Donald Trump is head and shoulders above the competition as the politician late night comedians most love to hate.” The study covered 2094 political jokes from the opening monologues on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, and The Daily Show with Trevor Noah from January 20 through April 29, 2017. CMPA will update these joke totals throughout the Trump administration. We thank the Media Research Center for providing access to video of the shows. Major Findings: President Trump was the target of 1060 jokes during his first 100 days in office, more than his recent predecessors attracted during their entire first year in office -- Barack Obama in 2009 (936 jokes), George W. Bush in 2001 (546 jokes), and Bill Clinton in 1993 (440 jokes). Trump is on track to easily eclipse the most jokes about any individual tracked by CMPA from 1992 through 2012 – 1717 by Bill Clinton in 1998, the year dominated by news of the Monica Lewinsky scandal and Clinton’s impeachment. The amount of Trump jokes nearly tripled the combined totals of all Democratic politicians (95 jokes) and Republican politicians (290 jokes) combined (385), outside his own administration. Trump’s family members were the targets of an additional 97 jokes, more than all Democrats combined. When the Trump family jokes are combined with the 373 jokes 1 that were directed toward other members of his administration, the Trump-related joke total rises to 1530. Stephen Colbert featured the most Trump jokes (337), followed closely by Trevor Noah (315). Lagging behind were Jimmy Fallon (231) and Jimmy Kimmel (177). ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note: In 1993, 2001, and 2009, the sample of late night comedians/hosts included Jay Leno, David Letterman,and Conan O’Brien. In addition, the 1993 sample included Arsenio Hall, the 2001 sample included Bill Maher, and the 2009 sample included Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert, and Jimmy Fallon. 2 .

  • February 26, 2021 Amazon Warehouse Workers In
    February 26, 2021 Amazon warehouse workers in Bessemer, Alabama are voting to form a union with the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union (RWDSU). We are the writers of feature films and television series. All of our work is done under union contracts whether it appears on Amazon Prime, a different streaming service, or a television network. Unions protect workers with essential rights and benefits. Most importantly, a union gives employees a seat at the table to negotiate fair pay, scheduling and more workplace policies. Deadline Amazon accepts unions for entertainment workers, and we believe warehouse workers deserve the same respect in the workplace. We strongly urge all Amazon warehouse workers in Bessemer to VOTE UNION YES.

    HOW I GOT THIS WAY Regis Philbin HowIGotThisWay_p2.indd 3 9/7/11 12:04 PM Foreword Abraham Lincoln Abraham Lincoln was the sixteenth president of the United States, serving from 1861-1865. He was born on February 12, 1809, outside of Hodgenville, Kentucky. Lincoln was just eight years old when his father moved the family to the wilds of Indiana and began to clear and farm 160 acres of land in Spencer County. There the family occupied a modest three- cornered lean-to. Lincoln never had more than a year of formal education while growing up, but he learned to read and loved books. By the time Lincoln turned sixteen, he was working as a farm hand and laborer. He also worked as a store clerk and ferryboat rower. He was tall and very strong and gained local acclaim as a wrestler. Lincoln went to law school, walking twenty miles each way because there were no law books in his hometown of New Salem. From 1833-1836 he served as the postmaster of New Salem. HowIGotThisWay_p3.indd 8 9/15/11 4:55 PM Lincoln was elected to the Congress in 1846, at the age of thirty- eight. He lost his bid for re-election in 1848 due to his outspoken criticism of the Mexican War and returned to Springfield shortly thereafter to resume his law practice. In May of 1860, Lincoln was nominated as the Republican candidate for president while his old foe Stephen Douglas was nominated by the Northern Democrats. Lincoln won the popular vote and the Electoral College and subsequently took office on March 4, 1861.
