2. Adjust to Writers’ Room-via-Zoom The quotidian human interactions associated with work in any office are generally good for relationships and morale, but proximity is that much more valuable when working in a medium predicated on timing, banter, and constant collaboration. “If I had a joke idea or could punch up somebody else’s joke, I would just walk over to their office, say it to them, and walk back. It’s done in about 12 seconds,” says Bradford.
Not every show has found the transition to remote work disorienting. As Josh Gondelman, senior writer and producer for Desus & Mero, explains, “We moved studios at the beginning of this season and last year. We went pretty quickly from one show a week to two. We’re kind of used to reconfiguring the process to make the same show in a new way.” And Daily Show head writer Dan Amira notes that the psychological effects of working remotely have translated to great material.
“Boundaries are like the old saying about pornography: You’ll know it when you see it,” says Amira. “We channel our emotions into the jokes. If we feel like the world is ending, then that’s what other people are feeling too, and that’s what we should be writing jokes about.” The writers of Desus & Mero, as usual, are finding offbeat stories. “New York City released guidelines that are saying you’re not supposed to eat ass during the pandemic. Something like that is right in our wheelhouse,” says Gondelman. “There’s people being horny for Cuomo. We also had Dr. Anthony Fauci on. The interview was really sincere and informative, with the guys asking him what his favorite Yankees memory is and getting this really fun story about Yogi Berra.
Fallon in particular has made his wife and kids a big element of his remote Tonight Show episodes, and for Bradford, it’s been an exciting experiment. “I love seeing Jimmy just be himself in his world with his wife and his kids,” he says. “These shows are a real Fallon family production because they’re all doing it themselves. He’s holding the camera, she’s the director, and the kids are showing up when they feel like it.
