"The folks at TDS realized that hysterical coverage of Mamdani from right-wing news outlets was going to be happening on the regular, so they wanted to be ready. And I'm sure the same team also made the supercut of ICE-agent bloopers on Wednesday night. Watching fascists eat it on Minnesota ice is so pleasurable, and that pleasure is compounded when it's edited well."
"Clip-package editing is such an unsung facet of the late-night televisual arts. My favorites have to be the folks at Jimmy Kimmel Live!They cut so frenetically. People act like a talk show is just talking, but it's not. It's also show,you know? It's the razzle-dazzle you get when union crews do the absolute most as quickly as humanly possible. I salute you."
The Daily Show produced a striking graphics package for coverage of Mayor Zohran Mamdani that combines attractive design with deliberate fearmongering to influence how viewers perceive coverage. The show prepared a supercut of ICE-agent bloopers that pairs physical comedy with political schadenfreude. Clip-package editing is highlighted as a core craft of late-night television, exemplified by Jimmy Kimmel Live!'s rapid, frenetic cuts executed by union crews. Noah Wyle taped a parody sketch mocking inverted food pyramids, 5G conspiracies, astrology, and antibiotic misuse. Amanda Seyfried used talk-show appearances to express a desire to own a monkey while promoting The Testament of Ann Lee.
