Dave Young, Supervising Writer of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, knows the magic (and mayhem) of making people laugh when the world feels heavy. He’ll dish on the comedy room — where camaraderie with Jimmy turns into punchlines — and why "late night" in 2025 is still one of the last great playgrounds for freedom of speech. Smart, funny, and a little behind-the-curtain, this conversation proves that making fun is also about having fun — and reaching people when they need it most.
This conversation will be moderated by Marc Adelman, Adelmania Consulting.
