24 Hours in the Life of "The Daily Show": A Conversation with Jennifer Flanz & Max Browning
Description
For more than 20 years, Jennifer Flanz has been at the helm of The Daily Show — shaping the sharpest, funniest take on the news night after night. As executive producer, she’s steered the show through eras of Jon Stewart, Trevor Noah, and now a rotation of the TDS Newsteam, collecting a shelf full of Emmys along the way. Joined by producer Max Browning, Jennifer pulls back the curtain on how they make the world’s chaos hilarious — how to do a daily show, find the funny in the serious, and keep audiences laughing (and thinking) every single day.
This conversation will be moderated by Marc Adelman, Adelmania Consulting.
