Ep. 38: Late Night Cold Opens, Stand-Up Comedy, & the Art of the NBC Page Hustle with Emily Potthast
Description
This week, Alex sits down with the hilarious and brilliant Emily Potthast, Emmy- and Peabody-winning cold open writer for “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert”. Emily shares what it was like growing up in Missouri, how she became an NBC Page, her wild adventures hustling her way into NYC television, and the magic (and chaos!) behind writing cold opens. Plus, she dives into how she established her own stand-up career across the city’s top comedy clubs and gives us a true behind-the-scenes look into NYC TV production!
