Baby Wants Candy: Creating Comedy for Television

This course will explore the creation of a television comedy led by Al Samuels (Sports Action Team) and Allison Silverman (The Daily Show, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, Late Night) and partnering with visiting guest artist Michael Koman (Nathan for You, SNL). Throughout the semester, the creative team will complete a detailed show pitch and initial draft of part pilot script to be shopped post course. We will also feature frequent industry guests. Atelier students will observe the creative team’s process and make contributions to it. Each student will also develop an original TV comedy concept.
