Late Night with Conan O'Brien is my favorite late night show ever ( conan's new shows haven't been as good as late night). Anyway one of the things I find interesting about the show is the writers and how they make bits for the show. Most of the bits are shown after the monolog and before or in between the guess and are only a few minutes long. What is cool about them is that once a writer has an idea in a full script format s/he is in charge of making the bit, so they take on the role of producers, directors , writers and some times actors. I guess this is kind of like what we do in class but they do it in one day. Not all of the bits are great, and in class most of our's aren't going to be movie quality but its like the writers say "It's a volume business" and the important thing is to make as much as you can so that you can get your style down. Heres a link to some of the writers talking about some of their failures.
