You are listening to The Next Best Picture Podcast, and this is our review of Late Night.

She was the first female late night talk show host on a major network, winning 43 Emmy Awards.

Ladies and gentlemen, Catherine Newberry.

Catherine, do you think women are funny?

Funny is funny.

As long as you're white male and from an elite college, like your writing staff. We need to hire a woman. Would a gay guy work? No. I try to be. So you have no experience in comedy? I'm obsessed with comedy. I do a little stand-up. Where? If you have a problem, ask a chemist. She'll always have the solution. You're higher. It doesn't work out, which you have a problem, ask a chemist. She'll always have the solution. Uh, you're higher.

If it doesn't work out, what you probably want, you'll be gone.

Are you okay?

I'm so happy. I feel sick.

I came to tell you this year is your last.

What?

Who are you? I'm a new writer. A new female writer. Yeah, I can see that, Brad. Think about why the show is bad. She's coming back. Don't push me. I can come up with ways to fix it. The headline of my analysis is complacency. I'll tell you what doesn't work. A newcomer coming in and giving me her assessment of my comic persona.

I will not be marginalized because no one here looks like me.

She's not trying to silence your strong female woman of color spirit.

Hashtag me too, blah, blah, blah.

You're a new writer with no experience.

Write something.

Okay.

The show hasn't been good for years.

Why didn't you say something?

I thought you knew and didn't care.

You keep on asking me the same question.
