Thursday-Monday
February 28- March 4 Investigative comedy / contemporary late night clips
ASSIGNMENT: 1) please
read the following two articles: "Investigative Comedy" and
"Jena Friedman: the outrageous talk show host women have been waiting
for". The objective is to familiarize yourself with these satirical
comedians and the social and political role they play in society.
2) When you have finished
reading, watch the five clips I have shared with you, noting, who you think is
the most effective in conveying the zeitgeist of our current political and
social world. Take a few notes and quotes that stand out to you.
3) In approximately 300
words, select one or two of the investigative comedians and explain who they are
speaking for and to what extent they are effective?
I am having problems with the posting the articles; so I am giving them to you as a handout. It is important that you take the time to read them.
Below you will find five clips that you will need to complete the assignment.
President Trumps response
tweet:
Nothing funny about tired Saturday
Night Live on Fake News NBC!
Question is, how do the Networks get
away with these total Republican
hit jobs without retribution?
Likewise for many other shows?
Very unfair and should be looked
into. This is the real Collusion!
