Hi Jon! Glad to hear you have recovered from your stroke (a close friend recently had a stroke and is slowly but steadily improving, so my heart goes out to you and what you went through). Here’s my question for you— when it comes to writing comedy/satire about controversial issues, is there a certain process or “rule of thumb” you go by for how to take the actual issue and morph it into comedy? Or are there any rules of thumb with stuff to AVOID that you personally stick to? In recent years, between Black Lives Matter and the #metoo movement, it’s become increasingly important to have awareness & sensitivity to these topics (and many others!), but comedians & writers who can reach a huge audience and can educate (and even influence) on serious and controversial issues, how do you navigate between doing that job and not being afraid to push boundaries but also feeling confident that what you wrote is in good taste & socially responsible?
