Subject: Cheap Laughs
Jackie-
I understand that you represent several folks at The Daily Show and The
Colbert Report and wanted to check in to see if you're taking on
additional writers at the moment. I'm a Brooklyn-based freelancer and author specializing
in political humor, and my work has appeared in Vanity Fair, Skeptic,
The Huffington Post, The Onion A.V. Club, National Lampoon, McSweeney's, and dozens of other
publications, and my first book, Flock of Dodos: Behind Modern Creationism, Intelligent Design, and the
Easter Bunny, was released in 2007; my second book, Caught, Fat, and Clouded: The Manifold Failures of
the American Punditry, is set for release next year. I've also
served as a contract writer for Fox Business Channel's Emmy-award winning
animated financial humor program Hoofy and
Boo.
I'm looking for an agent specifically in hopes of doing more television
writing, preferably with any of the late night topical-monologue comedians
and/or news satire programs.
I've pasted a couple of links to some recent work below; please take a look and
let me know if you might be interested in taking me on as a client.
Thanks,
Barrett Brown
