The Mary Sue

“You don’t have to copy (Stephen) Colbert’s format, or imitate (Seth) Meyers’ style,” says Marykate Jasper. “You don’t have to address every nightmare act of this administration (because Lord knows there are so many). But you do have an obligation to mock the cruelty and ignorance that’s threatening your entire audience.

You can highlight the important issues in your own style – and you are, quite bluntly, morally obligated to.”
