It’s that time again! NBC is having their NBC Late Night Writers Reachout Program in New York City.
This is where they seek submissions from writers who are “almost ready,” so they can groom them to be staff writers on the Late Night Shows at NBC.
If you’ve been paying attention to Late Night, you’ll know that there is a lot of movement at NBC with Jay Leno leaving ‘The Tonight Show’ and Jimmy Fallon now talking the helm. Also Seth Meyers taking Fallon’s spot at ‘Late Night.’
Meyers is leaving SNL’s ‘Weekend Update,’ and evidently taking some of the writers with him to the new show, there are spots opening up for writers all over the NBC Late Night Landscape!
This is a perfect opportunity for the new writer to get established. There is no other opportunity like this right now in Late Night Television.
Four Hour Late Night Writers Intensive
