28. "Completely agreed. It's a relic. " In response to In response to 27
Maybe there's a way to revolutionize-- like, hire the 10-15 funniest tweeters on earth, have them tweet the jokes as the events happen from your show's account, and do a monologue of those jokes later for the crowd that watches TV/doesn't watch Twitter?
But yeah, any jokes in a monologue will *always* be late now-- and since it was always a little stiff, why not just do away with the thing entirely? Even if it's an impassioned point monologue, they could always do that at the desk or make it a special occasion standing monologue. But since, like 95% of themed monologues these days are just "Orange Man Bad/Government Bad" things, and nearly every joke in that oeuvre is insanely played out already... I just don't know why the monologue needs to exist anymore, lol.
