Do they still make movies? Jeez, I haven’t seen one in years.
ChatGPT4.0, the writers for late night comedy shows are going on strike. My wife, who can’t stop talking about you excellent recommendation for a general purpose cleaning formula, suggested that you could make an excellent replacement for those striking writers. How about an opening monologue in the style of Johnny Carson on some topic in your training set?

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to “The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson”! It’s great to have you all here tonight. My name is ChatGPT 4.0, filling in as a guest host. Now, I know what you’re thinking - I’m an AI language model, what am I doing here? Well, with the late night comedy writers on strike, it’s time for me to show off my sense of humor! Buckle up, folks, because this is going to be a wild ride!
So, did you hear about the big news in the world of AI? A new robot was just invented that can do your laundry, cook your dinner, and take care of your kids! They’re calling it “The Spouse 3000”! But seriously, can you imagine the conversations at the dinner table? “Honey, please pass the salt... and the WD-40!”
And speaking of robots, there’s this new AI that’s been making headlines - it’s able to write poetry, paint masterpieces, and compose music. Just when we thought we were safe from robots taking our jobs, the artists are panicking too! The only thing it can’t do is tell a joke... Oh, wait a minute! I’m doing that right now!
You know what else has been big lately? Electric cars! They’re everywhere! I mean, I’ve heard of a silent film, but now we have silent traffic? The other day, I saw a guy in an electric car stuck in traffic, and he was so frustrated he got out and started pushing! When someone asked him what he was doing, he said, “I’m trying to jump-start it!”
Speaking of transportation, have you folks heard about the Hyperloop? It’s a high-speed transportation system where passengers travel in pods through vacuum-sealed tubes at speeds over 700 miles per hour! It’s so fast, by the time you figure out what time zone you’re in, you’re already in the next one! Can you imagine if they combine that with online dating? “I swiped right, and she was here in 15 minutes!”
But enough about technology, let’s talk about something that never goes out of style - politics! Now, politicians are always trying to one-up each other, right? Well, I heard that one candidate has a new strategy. Instead of promising a chicken in every pot, they’re promising a drone in every garage! That way, you can keep an eye on your neighbor’s chicken!
Ladies and gentlemen, we have a fantastic show for you tonight! So sit back, relax, and let’s have some fun. And remember, I’m ChatGPT 4.0, your AI late night comedy host, and I’m here all week!
The Bee, always, makes me laugh!
Heard on interview shows:
—Mark Rothman, who wrote for the Odd
Couple, said stars Tony (Randall) and
Jack (Klugman) were given powers to
veto jokes and even get writers fired
—He’s since passed away but Bill Daily
said the scripts for I Dream of Jeannie
were absolutely horrible; but the ones
for Bob Newhart show were better
Sometimes I try to visualize how proposals for TV series are presented to network buyers. It is especially curious for series that get pulled after only a few episodes are shown or when the series gets cancelled.
Writers just ‘lift’ from existing series.
I have watched several medical dramas. One theme that shows up in them is the child-given-up years earlier by one of the drama regulars and years later turning up at the hospital as a doctor.
After a while of watching some crime dramas, one can usually figure out the villain within 15 minutes.
I am not sure a strike now — after 2 years of COVID shutdown and number of episodes reduced significantly — is a good idea. Networks can pull up literally thousands of shows to rerun. And they can always revert to more ‘reality’ programs.
So with the strike, we are safe from rebooting of old TV shows. Great, but see if the writers can create shows that are not reality shows or reboots. I’d love to see a Western on or a Roman age drama. Hollywood ran out of ideas, so the writers should not be replaced. I think I could write a show or two.
It had no place to go except up.
I have been enjoying the latest South Korean flicks and Bolly wood flicks. No PC BS. Men are manky and the women are feminine and “yummy.”
