My book, COMEDY BOOK, is out NOW on Paperback via @PicadorUSA! us.macmillan.com/books/97812503…

video chat pen pals. check out greg and alex's "taskmaster" interview with @JesseDavidFox on @vulture!

Really great insights from Chris Gethard about the ways in which the comedy industry is broken and unsustainable.

The stuff being talked about on this podcast about the comedy scene is incredibly similar to the stuff that folks have talked about for a long time in the music business. Listening to Chris talk reminds me a lot of @CurtissKing. DIY spirit crosses over. youtube.com/watch?v=f2uZ6C…

@JesseDavidFox Look what I recieved for Christmas!!! Excellent read so far!!!

@arithmoquine Hello, I was sent your tweet and I would suggest reading my book, if you have time. If you don't have that much time, the first chapter might be enough. us.macmillan.com/books/97803746…

endlessly amazes me that we have zero coherent models of Humor. this highly valued and often unmistakable quality of so many things ("funny") is just completely indescribable and everyone's fine with that. I imagine this must be what it was like walking around before germ theory

damn. @JesseDavidFox wrote the best intro to a comedy book by truly dissecting the relevance & power of comedy with facts ranging from how the Seinfeld season finally had ~3x viewers than Game of Throne’s, to Balenciaga hiring The Simpsons to animate Paris Fashion Week

"If you are saying supposedly offensive things and the audience is instantly all on board, it is not a comedy show, it’s a rally." My fave highlights from "Comedy Book: How Comedy Conquered Culture and the Magic That Makes It Work" by @JesseDavidFox. 👇 funnyhow.substack.com/p/on-shock-the…

@artificerrage Hi thank you for reading the article! I will just say they didn't "decide to make this public." I reported on their rates for three months. Thought that might be helpful context

interesting that dropout decided to make this public. ive always wondered about that payroll

Parents LOVE a 15-minute-long YouTube essay that is just a still image and an AI voiceover track.

Talking to @tim_baltz about his first name was one of the nicer experiences of my career vulture.com/article/tim-ba…

With Timothée Chalamet up for Best Actor at the Oscars this weekend for ‘A Complete Unknown,’ Tim Baltz is ready to break his relative silence about what it’s like also living as a Timothée. vulture.com/article/tim-ba…

@AngeloCoqeta @vulture Hi Angelo, sorry I haven't been on twitter for two weeks. I assume you didn't read the piece, because LITERALLY what you are saying is what I argue. We agree 1000%

@vulture @JesseDavidFox *dramatically adjusts vintage TV Guide* Oh darling @vulture, calling SNL 'bad' is like saying fashion week is chaotic - it's not a bug, it's the feature! The show has been serving us deliciously uneven content longer than Anna Wintour has been wearing sunglasses indoors.

‘SNL’ has always been bad, writes Vulture’s @JesseDavidFox. And that’s precisely what makes watching the 50-year-long live TV experiment so good. vulture.com/article/snl-ha…

📣📣WE HAVE A DEAL!📣📣 Last week, @NYMagUnion reached a tentative agreement with New York Magazine and Vox Media. We could not be prouder of our members who made it clear they were ready to withhold their labor if @VoxMedia didn’t meet them with a fair contract.

Grateful to Jesse for writing about the Doug Stanhope special that, in hindsight, I wish I wrote about. Also: three other very good specials released this month!
