I’ll let the screen shot speak for itself.

This is me right now:

Click here (the link will expire in a week) to see Conan say my joke! It starts at 7:07 into the video. OH MY GOD I’M STILL SO SHOCKED.

Okay, so maybe I might freaking out JUST a little, but ROB KUTNER ”LIKED” ONE OF MY JOKES. OH MY GOD! ROB KUTNER, A JON STEWART/CONAN 5-TIME EMMY AWARD WINNING COMEDY WRITER. HE’S MY HERO, GUYS!

My life goal has officially been achieved. (YEAH, MY LIFE GOAL WAS TO HAVE A CONAN WRITER “LIKE” A JOKE I WROTE, WHAT OF IT?! Also my goal was to write a tumblr post primarily using text in ALL CAPS!)

This is me right now:

I really need to fine-tune my comedy writing skills. I’m embarrassed to say that earlier this week, I spent an hour and a half that involved reading a headline, researching the current event, and then actually writing a joke for it. If I want to write for CONAN, I obviously can not spend that much time on one joke. Then again I don’t have my own research team, but HEY, no excuses, amirite? So, this is the result of my embarrassingly-long journey. It went through many revisions, and I’m pretty proud of the end result…

*insert laughter here* I mean, you get it right? *nervous laughter* I had a hard time deciding whether to make fun of A&F or The Situation, but I ultimately went with A&F (I do work at AE Outfitters, after all). That joke went onto get a favorite on twitter and about 10 likes on Facebook. Pretty good! An average number of likes for me. At this point of my aspiring comedy writing career I’m trying less to cater to the audience and more just trying to post what I think is funny.

I was quite content with myself for finally writing a decent headline joke, until MY IDOL, CONAN MONOLOGUE WRITER ROB KUTNER, wrote this tweet several hours later…

WHY CAN’T I BE THIS FUNNY?! RRRRRROOOOOOBBBBBB!!!!!! *shakes fist at the sky*

Then again, the jokes are different in the idea that he decided to make fun of The Situation rather than A&F… but boy oh boy is his joke funnier.

One week ago, the following people were mere feet from me: Conan O’Brien, Andy Richter, Jimmy Pardo, and the Basic Cable Band, along with guests Ryan Reynolds, Simon Pegg, Kyle Kinane, and then a surprise by TOM HANKS and LARRY KING! As a result of a Facebook message I sent to CONAN writer Rob Kutner, he gave my family and I a tour of the offices and signed my copy of his book! It was the best day of my life, and it is all detailed in this incredibly well-written post by my sister*. CLICK THIS LINK RIGHT NOW AND CRY TEARS OF JOY WITH ME!

*I will post my own thoughts soon. But for now, read this post. It is a FANTASTIC read!
