As a seasoned comedy writer and agent with over a decade of experience at UTA, I’ve had the privilege of working alongside some of the most brilliant minds in the industry. Doug Edley and Heidi Feigin, my esteemed colleagues, have been an integral part of my journey. Their dedication to booking top comic talent on the expanding touring circuit is truly remarkable. The global reach of streaming platforms like Netflix has opened up opportunities for comics to perform in non-English speaking countries, something we never saw before. It’s fascinating to witness the transformative power of comedy in bringing people together and breaking down cultural barriers.
Reflecting on sources of recent amusement, comedy has proven innovative, inclusive, and at times, quite bleak – an unfortunate yet understandable reflection of our extraordinary current circumstances, where morbid wit is not just tolerated but eagerly embraced.
EbMaster gathers together once more the most influential comedians of the previous year, featuring a diverse lineup of hilarious individuals. Notable comics include John Mulaney, famous for his Netflix talk show “John Mulaney Presents: Everybody’s in LA,” and comedy legends Steve Martin and Martin Short, who returned with their “Only Murders in the Building” co-stars. There are also groundbreaking productions such as the wickedly animated series “Hazbin Hotel” and insightful specials from Alex Edelman, Zainab Johnson, and Ramy Youssef.
Regardless of personal taste in comedy, EbMaster’s 2024 Comedy Impact Report is sure to offer something appealing.

American Fiction
As a seasoned writer and filmmaker with a deep appreciation for the art of storytelling, I can’t help but be inspired by the courage and determination of Cord Jefferson. With an Oscar win under his belt for “American Fiction,” he fearlessly took on the roles of writer, director, and producer, showcasing bravery not just in his own artistic pursuits, but also in trusting the instincts of his team and cast.
Quinta Brunson
“Abbott Elementary” creator, exec producer and actor
In simpler terms, Brunson was awarded the Emmy for Best Actress in a Comedy Series for her role in “Abbott Elementary,” which she also created. This is in addition to the comedy writing accolade she previously received for the show now airing its fourth season on ABC. The sitcom focuses on dedicated teachers in an underfunded Philadelphia school, and Brunson’s endearing portrayal of teacher Janine Teagues makes her relatable to viewers. Beyond starring, producing, and writing for “Abbott,” Brunson will soon provide voicework for a 2026 animated adaptation of Dr. Seuss’ “The Cat in the Hat.”
Michelle Buteau
“Babes” actor; “Survival of the Thickest” creator, exec producer and actor
In her whirlwind of current endeavors – the film “Babes,” season 2 of “Survival of the Thickest,” and a fresh Netflix special – Buteau is particularly thrilled about donning the hat that reads “size 18-20, light-skinned, funny woman making things happen.” She aspires for the comedy landscape to foster an environment where individuals can flourish and be content, with fewer self-deprecating jokes and a more welcoming, genuine space for growth.
Justin Edbrooke
CAA, comedy touring and podcast agent
Edbrooke kicked off his career in music show promotion on the Sunset Strip at the young age of 17. However, he made a surprising transition to comedy booking when he turned 25. As he shares, “I was handed a list of potential clients and contact information for comedy club owners, along with a price guide.” Determined and eager to succeed, Edbrooke picked up the phone and began reaching out to these contacts. His impressive roster of clients, consisting of Andrew Schulz, Tim Dillon, Lavell Crawford, Natasha Leggero, Molly Kearney, Marcello Hernandez, Dr. Andrew Huberman, Father Mike, and Sam Harris, have collectively sold over 700,000 tickets in the year 2023, generating a revenue of over $42 million.
Ayo Edebiri
“The Bear” and “Bottoms” actor
In the past year, Edebiri has given numerous standout performances, ranging from “Bottoms,” a popular queer comedy, to “The Bear,” which garnered her both a Golden Globe and Emmy award. She also lent her voice to the character Envy in “Inside Out 2.” With a string of critically acclaimed titles under her belt that have broken new ground in their genres, Edebiri expresses her desire for more trust from industry decision-makers in the future of comedy. “It doesn’t need to appeal to everyone,” she states. “We live in politically charged times, and comedy has always reflected this. But I hope that on a fundamental level, executives can overcome their fear and champion unique creators.”
Alex Edelman
“Just for Us” writer, exec producer and performer
Who could have imagined that a Jewish kid crashing a neo-Nazi meeting in Queens would be the gift that keeps on giving? Stand-up comic Edelman, for one. Although he’s been performing his show “Just for Us” based on that encounter since 2018, its move to Broadway last year earned him a Tony Award for “exemplary debut” and an HBO comedy special that made him an overnight sensation. “I’m genuinely obsessed with comedy. It’s such a great way to communicate,” says Edelman, who has two other tours under his belt (“Millennial” and “Everything Handed to You”). “I can think of a lot of jokes that have communicated really complicated ideas to me in really simple ways.”
Jim Gaffigan
“Dark Pale” writer, director, exec producer and performer
Gaffigan introduced a fresh award category at the Golden Globes in January: Best Stand-Up Comedian on Television. His presentation left many wondering why he wasn’t hosting and why he hadn’t been nominated. Throughout the year, this talented comedian embarked on his “Barely Alive Tour,” produced an album titled “The Prisoner” and a Hulu special named “The Skinny.” He also released his tenth special, “Dark Pale,” Amazon’s inaugural original production. Gaffigan believes that this latest release won back critics who had dismissed him as just a clean comedian. In addition to these projects, he made an appearance in Seinfeld’s film “Unfrosted.” Yet, no matter where his career takes him, Gaffigan will always find his way back to the stage. He shared his deep affection for acting and writing but acknowledged that stand-up comedy offers him a level of control that he cherishes. The surge in popularity of stand-up comedy continues to surpass Gaffigan’s expectations, leaving him profoundly grateful for the opportunity to pursue his passion.
Ghosts
Here are some actors: Brandon Scott Jones, Devan Chandler Long, Rebecca Wisocky, and Román Zaragoza.
A quartet of actors brought to life some of the title’s otherworldly beings in the supernatural sitcom, significantly shaping its third season with thought-provoking storylines. These themes tackled mental health, race, suicide, and colonialism. The CBS production, now renewed for a fourth installment, features Rose McIver and Utkarsh Ambudkar as a married couple from New York who transform a haunted country house into a bed and breakfast, sharing their space with various ghosts from American history. Rebecca Wisocky expressed her satisfaction with the episode “The Holes Are Bad.” She stated, “Our show frequently blends heavier topics with its slapstick humor. Approaching suicide in a half-hour comedy felt daring, but I’m proud of my performance and how well it was crafted by Sophia Lear.” Roman Zaragoza also shared his perspective, admitting that the WGA strike affected the season, “However, I believe we produced some of our series’ strongest episodes during this time.” Long, who portrays the Norse Viking ghost Thor, expressed his hope for more edgy and raw comedy. He mentioned, “Adversity fuels laughter.”
Adam Ginivisian
Levity Live, manager
A comedy enthusiast like Ginivisian views his job of unearthing and promoting comedic talent as a blessing. “Making a difference is incredibly rewarding,” Ginivisian shares. “Watching my artists shape culture, communities, and the industry is an honor. I get to play a part in their success stories, essentially becoming a storyteller myself by shaping careers with talented individuals.” Some of his clients include Fortune Feimster, Big Jay Oakerson, Jay Pharoah, Ari Shaffir, Preacher Lawson, and emerging stars such as Ginger Billy. Last year alone, Ginivisian produced eight comedy specials for them, eagerly anticipating the world’s reaction to their work.
Nikki Glaser
“Someday You’ll Die” writer and performer; “The Roast of Tom Brady” performer
Glaser has entertained audiences for over two decades, but her 9-minute roast of Tom Brady brought her a significant career surge. She shares, “That moment was incredibly enjoyable in my professional journey, and I don’t anticipate repeating it. It was an extraordinary experience that many in our industry seldom get to encounter.” Additionally, this high-profile event served as an excellent promotional platform for her new stand-up show, “Someday You’ll Die,” which marked HBO’s best comedy special debut in the past two years. “With the publicity from the roast, I felt like a pop culture sensation, even if it was just for a short while,” she added.
Ryan Gosling
“Barbie” actor; “Fall Guy” actor and producer
An actor known for intense roles in films like “The Believer” and “Half Nelson” surprised many by showcasing his comedic side. While his first major role was actually in “The New Mickey Mouse Club,” it’s easy to see how we might have missed the signs. In “Barbie,” he outshone other scene-stealers with his hilarious performance, and at the Oscars, he left audiences in stitches with his “I’m Just Ken” number. His self-deprecating role in “The Fall Guy” was a riot, as was his entertaining promotion leading up to the film’s release. One of the highlights was his hosting gig on “Saturday Night Live,” where he brought Beavis, a character strikingly similar to him, to life.
Hazbin Hotel
Stephanie Beatriz – ActorErika Henningsen – ActorVivienne Medrano – Creator and exec producerBlake Roman – ActorAmir Talai – Actor
Medrano’s dark musical comedy “Hazbin Hotel” transformed from a self-produced YouTube pilot to Amazon Prime Video’s most successful global animated series in a short period. According to Medrano, the success of this A24 show, which features an inclusive cast and tackles themes like good versus evil, sex work, addiction, found family, and redemption through the inhabitants of heaven and hell, can be attributed in part to its “flexible,” “cartoonish,” and “expressive” art and self-aware humor. Medrano points out that queer people and women have frequently been made fun of in comedy but believes that the show is different because it comes from a unique perspective. Henningsen, one of the voice actors, explains that adults are drawn to shows like “Hazbin” due to their intelligent and humorous content. She adds that viewers can expect some heartwarming moments alongside the colorful array of demonic characters in Season 2.
Gabrielle Homola
WME, comedy touring agent
Homola represents an impressive lineup of comedians such as Chris Distefano, Sam Morril, Trevor Wallace, Hannibal Buress, and Jimmy Carr (in the U.S.). She manages their tours and assists them in securing deals for comedy specials. Her talent for building careers is evident through her first signing, Zack Fox, whom she helped expand into music, brand partnerships, and acting (“Abbott Elementary”). Throughout her career, she has relied on the adaptable skills she acquired from her initial job at a golf pro shop. “I might not have known much about golf,” she explains, “but I would learn it, find a way to understand it, and try to connect with people.”
Hacks
As a movie buff, I’d put it this way: “I adore the talented Carl Clemons-Hopkins, who brings characters to life on screen. Paul W. Downs is not just an actor in my favorite shows, but also a co-creator and executive producer, making each project even more special. Hannah Einbinder’s performances leave me in awe every time I watch. Lastly, Jean Smart is a veteran actress whose work never fails to impress me.”
The first two seasons of the Max comedy, which has earned six Primetime Emmy awards, left audiences eagerly waiting for Season 3. Despite high expectations, the cast and crew outdid themselves, focusing on Deborah Vance, a Las Vegas comedian played by Smart, as she pursues a late-night talk show. Every character shone, including Einbinder’s Ava and Clemons-Hopkins’ Marcus, who broke free from their boss’ shadow. Stalter and Downs, as the bizarre duo of managers, showed impressive chemistry with guest star Christopher Lloyd. Downs, who is also a co-creator, attributes the cast’s chemistry to “the fact that we genuinely find each other funny and enjoy working together.” Regarding Season 4, Downs hinted, “Our characters are now on larger stages than ever before, and the stakes have never been higher.”
Zainab Johnson
“Hijabs Off” writer and performer
Johnston gained prominence in 2023 with her stand-up comedy acts based on her unique experiences as a Muslim Black woman raised in New York. In her Amazon Prime Video debut special titled “Hijabs Off,” she openly discusses her multifaceted identity, emphasizing that she speaks from personal experience. Regarding her entry into comedy and creating her own niche as someone who never considered herself the comedian, she states: “I’m always striving to introduce new perspectives in my work, ones I didn’t have growing up, and incorporating humor is my signature approach. My style involves blending learning moments with laughter, making audiences laugh while also understanding that we may be different but fundamentally the same.”
Diarra Kilpatrick
“Diarra From Detroit” creator, actor and exec producer
Creator and star Kilpatrick shares a first name and a hometown with her character in her BET+ series “Diarra From Detroit,” a comedy-mystery about a freshly divorced teacher who follows a date who’s ghosted her down a rabbit hole into the Motor City underworld. But in real life, she’s a married mother of a 3-year-old whose resume includes roles in HBO’s “Perry Mason” and her own ABC web series “American Koko.” “If Netflix is listening, I’d love, like, a three-picture deal,” says Kilpatrick, who’s developing a “reparations rom-com.” “They’ve given a lot of people a lot of money. They could give me a little less to make some bold comedic work.”
Seth MacFarlane
“Ted” creator, writer, performer
MacFarlane boasts extensive comedic background, yet recognized the importance of relinquishing control early in his career. He shares, “In the beginning, with ‘Family Guy,’ we were introducing a new style to audiences. Consequently, I needed to intervene extensively and correct issues that weren’t necessary later on.” Currently, he prefers collaborating with individuals who excel in intelligence, creativity, and talent for his projects. This approach proved fruitful during the premiere season of “Ted,” which was renewed for a second season. Together, they created something original, innovative, and distinct from past work, ensuring the show’s existence and value.
John Mulaney
“John Mulaney Presents: Everybody’s in L.A.” writer, host
Creating an original concept for a talk show can be an enormous, frustrating challenge, yet Mulaney managed to accomplish it brilliantly with his live six-part Netflix series titled “John Mulaney Presents: Everyone’s in L.A.” Each night, he explored different aspects of Los Angeles, bringing in experts on topics like earthquakes and helicopters, as well as comedian guests such as David Letterman and Sarah Silverman. The result was a captivating and successful blend of education, comedy, and personal reflection. “I no longer wish to overthink potential sources of excitement for me,” Mulaney shared. “Instead, I want to cherish the opportunity I have to work in this industry and be in Los Angeles.”
NBCUniversal
Jim Donnelly – Exec VP of comedy development, Universal TelevisionJeff Meyerson – Exec VP of scripted content, comedy, NBCUniversal EntertainmentBeth Miyares – Senior VP of comedy development, Universal TelevisionMegan Macmillan – Senior VP of comedy development, Universal Television
NBCUniversal is excelling in the comedy sector this year, with hits like “Ted” on streaming platforms, “Night Court” reboot on NBC, and Emmy-winning “Hacks” on Max. The belief that comedy cannot go global or draw new subscribers to a streaming service has been disproved by NBCUniversal in a remarkable way, according to Donnelly from Universal’s comedy development. Together with Miyares and Macmillan, they are excited about innovative ideas, such as the stop-motion animated show “In the Know” on Peacock. Meyerson adds, “I enjoy discovering unique formats and settings in comedy, and we have more groundbreaking shows coming in 2024 like ‘St. Denis Medical’ and ‘Happy’s Place’.”
Alex Murray
Brillstein Entertainment Partners, partner
Murray initially worked in the music industry, arranging performances for colleges and later serving as an assistant to a music agent at ICM. Since 2010, he has been with Brillstein, overseeing a roster of comedians which includes Jim Gaffigan, Nate Bargatze, Nikki Glaser, Justin Willman, Jim Jefferies, John Crist, Trevor Wallace, and Tony Hinchcliffe (host of the “Kill Tony” live podcast). According to him, if you have a popular YouTube video, TikTok, or standout special on streaming platforms like Netflix, Amazon, or Hulu, we can reach your audience directly without the need for traditional TV and film businesses to facilitate.
Netflix
Tracey Pakosta – VP of comedy seriesRobbie Praw – VP of standup and comedy formats
Pakosta and Praw have played crucial roles in building Netflix’s comedy empire. Lately, Praw has managed Netflix’s lineup of popular stand-ups (Pete Davidson, Gabriel “Fluffy” Iglesias, Bert Kreischer, Adam Sandler, Taylor Tomlinson, etc.) and productions like “The Greatest Roast of All Time: Tom Brady” and the annual Netflix Is a Joke comedy festival in Los Angeles. On the other hand, Pakosta has introduced new series (“Tires” with Shane Gillis, “The Vince Staples Show”), revived hit shows (“Emily in Paris,” “Cobra Kai”), and is currently developing projects such as “Nobody Wants This” featuring Kristen Bell and “A Classic Spy” starring Ted Danson. Pakosta shares, “One of the most thrilling aspects of Netflix is witnessing how stand-up comics can expand their skills to contribute to scripted content.”
Only Murders in the Building
Selena Gomez – Exec producer and actorSteve Martin – Co-creator, exec producer and actorPaul Rudd – ActorMartin Short – Exec producer and actorMeryl Streep – Actor
In the third installment of “Only Murders in the Building” on Hulu, the investigative team of Charles, Mabel, and Oliver faced their most complex case yet. As they worked to unravel the mystery surrounding the death of an hated actor, they found themselves immersed in the world of Broadway musical production. Chaos, tunes, and heart attacks ensued. The addition of music by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, known for “The Greatest Showman,” provided not only a captivating whodunit but also a collection of memorable songs, such as Martin’s riotous performance of “Which of the Pickwick Triplets Did It?”
Reservation Dogs
As a movie critic, I’ve had the pleasure of watching some remarkable performances in recent productions. Among the talented cast members, I’d like to highlight Paulina Alexis, Lane Factor, Sterlin Harjo, Devery Jacobs, and D’Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai. Each one brought unique depth and authenticity to their respective roles, making the story come alive on screen. These actors truly made an impact in my viewing experience.
As a film enthusiast, I was sad to see the end of “Reservation Dogs” this year after three brilliantly funny seasons. Personally, it felt a little bitter-sweet letting go of the characters I had grown attached to, especially since I played Cheese on the show. However, I’m incredibly proud of what we achieved with the series, both in terms of increasing visibility for Indigenous talent and humor, and helping all of us grow into strong comedic performers.
Nina Rosenstein
HBO, executive VP of programming, specials, late-night and unscripted series
Rosenstein was a biochemist with plans to attend medical school until an incident in the lab occurred while she was reading a Hollywood trade. The field of medicine missed out on her, but show business benefited greatly. With over three decades of experience at HBO, Rosenstein now oversees a diverse lineup that includes “Conan O’Brien Must Go,” “Jerrod Carmichael Reality Show,” and “We’re Here,” stand-up specials such as “Nikki Glaser: Someday You’ll Die,” the comedy series “Fantasmas” featuring Julio Torres, and long-running shows like “Real Time With Bill Maher” and “Last Week Tonight With John Oliver. When someone contacts her with a seemingly unusual idea, that is her favorite kind of call to receive.
Maya Rudolph
“Loot” actor
When people come across Rudolph linked to a project, they’re assured of an enjoyable experience in spades. Rudolph is known for delivering, making her newest Apple TV+ series “Loot” yet another proof of her remarkable abilities. Her portrayal of billionaire Molly manages to make her relatable to viewers, which is nothing short of genius. According to Rudolph, “The way Molly handles the world is a journey we want audiences to embark on as well.” She adds, “Molly’s heart is what drives the show; it’s the secret ingredient.”
Rachel Sennott
“Bottoms” actor and co-writer; “I Used to Be Funny” actor
As a movie reviewer, I’ve had the pleasure of witnessing the versatility and bravery of Sennott’s acting skills in various films and series. In “Shiva Baby” (2017), she left me on edge playing an awkward sugar baby. Similarly, her portrayal of a stand-up comedian battling PTSD in Ally Pankiw’s “I Used to Be Funny” (2023) kept me on the edge of my seat with anticipation and unease.
Jon Stewart
“The Daily Show” host
The Daily Show, hosted by Stewart, has provided a entertaining and humorous perspective on cable news for the past 28 years. With Stewart’s return as Monday night host, the show has been reinvigorated just in time for the 2024 presidential election. Through satire, memes, and sharp wit, The Daily Show tackles national and international politics with a healthy dose of skepticism and amusement. At a FYC event in June, Stewart shared that he has witnessed many changes within the industry, but returning to The Daily Show feels rewarding because of its commitment to fresh ideas and thoughtful discussion. While other shows may label their election coverage “Indecision,” Stewart finds it an effortless choice to tune into The Daily Show.
Julio Torres
In simpler terms, the “Problemista” is a person who assumes the roles of director, writer, producer, and actor in that project. For “Fantasmas,” this individual wears multiple hats as the creator, director, executive producer, writer, and actor.
In an exciting development, Torres transitioned from writing for “Problemista” to taking on the roles of showrunner, director, and actor in “Fantasmas.” This project boasts executive production by Emma Stone and features appearances by Alexa Demie, Bowen Yang, and Paul Dano. Torres expresses great pride in having completed two projects that were true to his creative vision. Having honed his skills under the tutelage of mentor Dave McCary at “Saturday Night Live,” he reflects, “I didn’t realize I was learning so much about directing.”
Adrienne Turner
Warner Bros. Television, exec VP and head of comedy development
Turner gained valuable experience working as an assistant on the NBC sitcom “Friends” at Warner Bros. Studios, which could be thought of as a comedy apprenticeship. Now, she’s advanced to executive roles and produces successful comedies for various platforms such as ABC, NBC, Max, Apple TV+, Hulu, and Netflix. Notably, she has also developed projects for Mindy Kaling, titled “Murray Hill” on Hulu and “Running Point” on Netflix. Many writers aspire to establish their careers at Warner Bros. due to its ability to sell to both broadcast networks and streaming services.
UTA
Doug Edley – Partner and agent, comedy touringHeidi Feigin – Agent, comedy touring
Edley and Feigin have been working together at UTA for the past eleven years, securing top comedy talent for a touring circuit that has seen significant growth due to the increasing global reach of streaming platforms like Netflix. As Edley explains, “We’re sending people to countries we never used to go before, from Italy to Spain and beyond.” Some of their notable clients include Ali Wong, Paul Reiser, Vir Das, Phil Rosenthal, Frankie Quinones, and Tom Papa. Feigin’s roster boasts names such as Bert Kreischer, Sebastian Maniscalco, Taylor Tomlinson, and Nick Offerman. Additionally, they help secure TV specials for their clients, like Reiser’s first in three decades, produced by Comedy Dynamics. According to Feigin, “Comics are a unique group. They take on every challenge and no one tells them they can’t.”
We Are Lady Parts
Here are the roles of Sarah Kameela Impey, Nida Manzoor, Juliette Motamed, Faith Omole, and Anjana Vasan:
Initially introduced as a 14-minute pilot in 2018, “We Are Lady Parts” has since grown into a successful British sitcom with two seasons and numerous accolades. This hilarious show centers around an all-women Muslim punk rock band, challenging stereotypes and leaving audiences delighted. In the second season, Manzoor skillfully blends drama and comedy, garnering appreciation for its nuanced portrayal of Muslim women. Manzoor was inspired to write the show after being asked repeatedly to create serious depictions of Muslim women in her professional writing career. “Comedy helps humanize people,” she explains, “So it’s been heartwarming to see how the show has brought various groups closer.” Shorthouse, an actor and band member, shares her admiration for the series: “It’s wonderful because we see women who resemble us not as sidekicks or dealing with crises of faith. They are living their lives, making us laugh, and embodying that leading role energy.”
What We Do in the Shadows
Matt Berry, Natasia Demetriou, Harvey Guillén, Mark Proksch, and Kayvan Novak are all skilled actors.
Nandor (Novak), Laszlo (Berry), Nadja (Demetriou), Colin Robinson (Proksch), and Nandor’s companion, Guillermo (Guillen). This series, inspired by the 2014 Taika Waititi film, has amassed a passionate fan base since its debut in 2019 and received critical acclaim. Though it experienced a decline in viewership during Season 5, it retained a dedicated following due to its unique blend of comedy and horror that resembles “The Office” with a horror twist. Berry shares that around 60% of her scenes are improvised, allowing the cast to add their own creative flair, especially when there’s no vital plot point at stake. The writers manage to keep these characters relatable by tapping into aspects of their own personalities as bumbling but self-assured predators who struggle to grasp modern life. Executive producer Paul Simms speculates that this balance is achieved through the writers’ understanding of which parts of their actors’ personas align with these eccentric characters.
Sabrina Wu
“Joy Ride” actor
In simpler terms, Wu shares that growing up, they felt self-conscious about being an awkward Asian kid, which made social situations challenging. However, this sensation faded during the filming of “Joy Ride” in 2023, where they were appreciated and found a connection with the project’s relatability, humor, and a touch of darkness. Now, Wu aspires to broaden their artistic horizons by taking on new projects such as Apple TV+’s “Murderbot” and FX’s “Dying for Sex,” a semi-autobiographical pilot, and a stand-up hour they plan to sell. They reflect, “The past few years have been about discovering my identity as an artist.” Wu is eager to be recognized beyond just being a comedic actor.
Ramy Youssef
“More Feelings” writer, exec producer and performer; “Poor Things” actor; “The Bear” director
Youssef has described his past year as creatively fulfilling, filled with accomplishments such as directing an episode of “The Bear” and performing in Yorgos Lanthimos’ “Poor Things.” He adds that hosting “SNL” was a long-held dream come true for him. Discussing global events, religion, and politics is nothing new for a comedian in Youssef’s perspective. He believes comedy involves examining various systems, whether personal or large-scale. Youssef expresses satisfaction with his latest special as it includes material he had been developing for years, as well as recent additions that made the performance feel alive and relevant.
