There are a lot of things I loved about Reno 911, but Terry, the Tacos Tacos Tacos waiter/prostitute, might have been number one. More Nick Swardson is always a plus.

All indisputable facts.

I can’t believe it is taking this article to make people realize the lack of female comedy writers on late night. I have this discussion with my friends every time the Emmy’s is on and they list off those like 60 names of nominees. This year 2 were women and they both wrote for Comedy Central. One for Jon Stewart and one for Colbert.

At this moment, there are more females serving on the United States Supreme Court than there are writing for Late Show with David Letterman, The Jay Leno Show, and The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien combined. Out of the 50 or so comedy writers working on these programs, exactly zero are women. It would be funny if it weren’t true.

I feel an OVERWHELMING NEED to point out that there are MANY female comedy writers, producers, and showrunners in television that I see and meet every day. Many of them are staffed on shows that are respected by real live comedians — SNL, TCR, TDS, Important Things with Demetri Martin, Michael and Michael Have Issues, The Office, 30 Rock (helllloooooo!), Fallon —- Kimmel’s head writer is a female.

It is either dumb or ridiculous to whine that no female comedy writers have “made it” when there are plenty of successful ones.

I was just pointing out that it’s interesting that late night is all dicked up.

Also, self loathing and yelling victim ain’t gonna help no one.
