I'm Brooke Ladstone with this week's On the Media Podcast Extra. So there's comedy and there's news,

and there's that amalgamation of the two called satire or lampoonery, or in the parlance of

John Stewart, fake news. How do you make it? Especially if you began in journalism.

If you watch The Daily Show, the Nightly Show, or a full frontal with Samantha Bee, you might like to know.

And here's your chance to find out. Last month, I moderated a discussion among writers and producers from those shows, convened by the News School in New York City.

Now, unfortunately, I wasn't thinking about radio.

Big oversight.

So I didn't identify them every time they spoke.

So I'll tell you who they are now.

Representing the Daily Show with Trevor Noah are Daniel Radosh,

longtime journalist and blogger who's contributed to just about everything,

including the New York Times, Esquire Slate and The New Yorker, and Dan Imaira, who came from a long stint at New York Magazine.

For the nightly show with Larry Wilmore, writer Cord Jefferson, who's actually just left the show to become a writer on Aziz Ansari's Master of Nunn.

Before his gig with Wilmore, he had, among other things,

served as the West Coast editor of Gawker.

Representing full frontal are producers Sonia Dosani and Noreen Khan,

both of whom came directly from Al Jazeera America.

So let's go.

Let me first ask, Daniel Radash,

what was the biggest transition from print to television?

I think the hardest thing was figuring out what to do with all of the money.

Okay.
