Who gets the jokes written for them, and who writes them?


I assume Tyson and Shatner had their jokes written for them. Who else? And who writes them?




I want the doctor to take your picture so I can look at you from inside as well.

You can assume all the comedians write their own stuff, Jeff Ross, Lampanelli, Amy Schumer, Whitney Cummings, Gilbert Godfried. I'm not sure about Seth, as he his not really a standup, but he probably writes some of it.

You can always tell who writes their own stuff by how much they read from a teleprompter and when they come up with notes (probably changes made since the teleprompter text was written). Charlie was reading every single word.
