Tonight Show Head Writer Quits Over Trump Jokes Supposedly Giving Him Power
Newsbusters ^ | November 9, 2020 | P.J. Gladnick

When Trump Derangement Syndrome forces someone who is a joke writer to quit her job, that in itself is great joke material. What is not a joke is that the head writer of NBC's Tonight Show, Rebecca Drysdale, really is quitting her job and placing a lot of the blame for her departure at the feet of President Donald Trump.

The basis of her departure could be far funnier than anything Drysdale has ever written as revealed in Thursday's Variety, "‘The Tonight Show’ Head Writer Rebecca Drysdale Exits, Also Says She’ll ‘Never Work on Another Trump Sketch’."

Tonight Show episodes made in 1975 or 1980 are more watchable that whatever they have on nowadays.

The joke is they had a female writing jokes for a major show. It’s like hiring a female left tackle for an NFL team. Sure, you can do it, but I hope you have a lot of QBs on the bench.

I guess as long as she can slow that edge rusher down long enough and scream to let him know he’s about to die, the QB might escape.

Drysdale? Wasn’t he that funny strait-laced banker on “The Beverly Hill Billies”?

What exactly is she complaining about, or is this yet another

Those show up on a Pluto channel.

I watch mostly vintage Dr. Who and some of the cartoons.

the tonight show is still on? Who knew? Just cancel it and put on PIYO or Shark Vaccum ads. It would be more profitable.

Jack Parr and Johhny Carson rolling over in their graves.
