I made the finals of the NBC Late Night Writers Workshop program twice (2016 and 2018).
I also interviewed to write for a major late night TV show based on the strength of my writing packet.
Here are some of the best jokes and sketches from the packets I used to apply. See below for the full packets.

Full joke writing packets
There aren’t many samples of joke writing packets out there, especially ones that kinda sorta worked. So here are mine. I hope they help aspiring comedy writers. I have tons more where this came from, if you’re interested. Contact me directly for more samples.
