‘The Tonight Show’ Head Writer Rebecca Drysdale Exits(Deadline)



Can anyone explain this to me? First of all, does this person not want to write Trump jokes, because they like Trump? I don't quite get it. That's a pretty plum job for a comedy writer to give up.

The posted article says it's a, "He," while the Deadline article said the same person is a, "she."

I think soon the word “normal” is going to be obsolete in America.

This kept going back and forth on “he” and “she.”

I don’t know what it is.

It’s a badly written article but I think the gist is that snowflake transgender here thought that it doing humor about Trump was immoral because orange man bad and making fun of him increases his power.

He didn’t like Trump, but he didn’t want to make fun of Trump? And of course, the rest of the Fallon crew were Trump supporters?

My first thought was the same as yours, “What is it?” It looks too feminine to be a man, and too masculine to be a woman.

I read the article three times, plus the comments. And I have concluded that I have wasted 6 minutes of my life.

Nah - just writing about Trump caused him grief and stirred up his emotions.

Again, snowflake.

“I have wasted 6 minutes of my life”


Only 6 minutes?
Consider yourself fortunate.
Drysdale has wasted years actually living in
that world of irregularity.

The only thing I could make out from the article is that the comedy writers are not unanimously anti Trump... that the creative writers have differing opinions and argue over them enough that it negatively affects their work.

The whole article is so poorly written that panhandlers on the street are taking up a collection to send the writer to journalism school.

She doesn’t want to write Trump jokes because it “gives him power”.
