I once wrote a piece for Katey that was an ordeal having nothing to do with her and I can't tell you how brilliantly she handled it, from edits to strategy to logistics to pay, from the smallest details to big picture. Just an excellent editor. Hire her.

Can’t stop watching this. Not just the vision. The placement

1/2. 'Gee, David, I didn't want you to go out and get dressed up just for the game.' - Allen Ludden ribs David Letterman about his attire on PASSWORD+ (1979). According to Jason Zinoman's great bio, Letterman wore a nearly identical ensemble on Ludden's LIAR'S CLUB.

Excellent work from Jason Zinoman on the under-the-radar (before this piece, anyway) podcast ⁦Valley Heat Podcast⁩. Proud to have been the “friend” who suggested he cover it, and h/t to Jim Gavin (via @NYTimes) nytimes.com/2024/03/15/art…

Mesmerised by this image. Just IMAGINE the small talk.

NEW: Don Lemon says that Elon Musk has cancelled his X deal because he didn't like his interview.

It’s Jason Zinoman of The New York Times this week! Here The Times’ comedy critic takes a stand and defends Chicago deep dish pizza.

One of my earliest interviews for Time Out was with Bond when SAVED was revived by Theatre for a New Audience in 2001. He dressed like Bertolt Brecht, spoke very softly and patiently explained that they stoned the baby in the carriage because they hated themselves, i.e., the future.

Looking forward to talking to Robert Klein in Marxfest. Come see.

Jason Zinoman When I think of Lewis I think of that Albert Brooks line in 'Broadcast News' about how 'What if NEEDY was a turn on?'

It’s so funny that the main thing I remember about this show is hearing my parents say “you’re too young to watch it”

Wrote about Richard Lewis. RIP nytimes.com/2024/02/29/art…

Good news: Washington Post is hiring a chief theater critic. Go get that job. washpost.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/washingtonpost…

Great @Zinoman read. @JonStewart and team are clicking on all cylinders. nytimes.com/2024/02/26/art…

ICYMI: the The New York Times and Jason Zinoman create the perfect format for exploring the anatomy and development of a joke and its punchline. (And now I know who Taylor Tomlinson is 😂). Well done.

Tina Fey and Amy Poehler are trying stand-up for the first time. On their Restless Leg Tour, the result is warmly hilarious and a little nostalgic, Jason Zinoman writes. nyti.ms/3usY2k0

There should be a special stealth podcast where you pay up, sign an NDA & then get to hear Tina Fey’s secret bitchy opinions of all culture

I love Ayo’s comment, but also this Tina Fey Emerald Fennell bit is the perfect accompaniment to Jason Zinoman’s review of her comedy act with Amy Poehler.
