ASSIGNMENT ONE

Hey everyone, McKay here again. Thanks for all your participation thus far. Here is your first assignment. I'll post the next one later this week.

If you could be a writer for one show on Comedy Central, which one would it be and why?
• What is it about that show that interests you? Is it a particular genre that you like? Does it fit your personality/sense of humor? Do you see an opportunity in that show?
• What kinds of shows would you create?
• Which character do you think would be most fun to write for?
• Which character do you think would be the hardest?
• Which character do you think you would identify with the most?
• If you were tasked to change something about the show, what would you do? How would you improve it or give it a fresh spin?
• If you were to introduce a new character, who would it be and what would he/she/it be like?

i have always been a fan of stand up comedians and i think i would like to write for DAVE CHAPPELL show. its not that i can relate to him or his show, but it is some crazy off the wall "did he just say that" writing and that is what i like about it.

i actually met dave chappell while i was hiking in yellow springs, ohio and he was just very down to earth guy, he actually said HELLO to me first. he was buying a pack of cigarettes and i just got the feeling that he was not all about what he used to be back when he was hardcore on his show.. changed a bit.

i think if i had to change one things about the show if i were to write on it, i think id incorporate some improve into it. maybe a little more action and participation from the audience.
