Johnson says he has gotten more than 160 of his jokes on the "Late Show With David Letterman" and, before that, "The Tonight Show With Jay Leno."
The 39-year-old is part of an underground network of comedy writers who supply the late-night programs with a constant stream of material. If one of their jokes gets on the air, they get a check for $75 or $100. What they don't get is any credit or union pay. READ THE REST
Maybe I should quit my blog and waste my time writing jokes that will never make air - for example:
Did you hear how KFC was giving out free chicken meal coupons yesterday thanks to Oprah? There were some problems printing the coupons supposedly. Yeah...supposedly Oprah was having all of the coupons redirected to her printer since there was only one coupon per customer {insert rim shot}
Do I have a chance? I wrote than in 5 minutes! What can I say, I used to work on a TV show that was against Oprah in the same time slot...I kid, I kid.
