Most freshman comics don’t have 30 solid minutes for a solo special. And people don’t discover new talent on the Tonight Show anymore. A show like the ones done at the Improv would be great for online media, with users’ love of short funny clips, and would introduce new comics to the nation without making them eat bugs or blabber about their youth in a “confessional” booth. > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: > [email protected] > > To: > "TVorNotTV" <[email protected]> > Cc: > > Sent: > Mon, 4 Feb 2019 08:29:33 -0800 (PST) > Subject: > Re: [TV orNotTV] NBC hoping America's also got comedy > > > > > Kevin M., to M-D November and moi: >> >> I have an amazing idea for a show.
