In case you haven’t been weeding through all those ridiculous entries from my Twitter feed that I recently started posting here on Chumworth.com, I had some big comedy writing news this week: I recently started contributing monologue jokes to Late Night with Jimmy Fallon!

Jimmy, of course, only recently took over Late Night from Conan O’Brien, who, of course, is heading out to California to take over the Tonight Show from Jay Leno (for whom I also once wrote monologue jokes) in a couple of months. Jimmy’s been on the air for about a month and last week I got the nod to start sending in freelance monologue jokes, as I’ve been doing for the Late Show with David Letterman for almost six years now (and, yes, I am still sending jokes into Dave).

Earlier this week, for the first time, Jimmy told a joke that I wrote! That’s one more notch I can add to my belt and not just for weight gain this time! If you missed the link to it in my Twitter feed, here it is:

Police in Nigeria have arrested a one hundred fourteen-year-old man after discovering more than one hundred bags of marijuana behind his house.

The good news is he’s only looking at a few months in jail. The bad news is that’s a life sentence.

Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.

You can also watch the video of the entire show here.

On the upside, I’m very excited to contribute to Jimmy’s show. On the downside, it means lots more work and lots more rejection. Well, I am certainly used to rejection so, what the hell!

As you may know, I draw a weekly comic called IT Underworld about the wacky, wet and wild world of IT for the web site ITworld.

We recently decided to start holding caption contests, where you can try your hand at writing the punchline to one of my cartoons. The winner receives a $25 Amazon gift card. Can’t beat that!

We first tried this last month and it was so popular we’ve decided to do it again! Here’s the latest caption contest cartoon:

To enter, go to the IT World site and add your caption as a comment. If you add your caption here, no matter how funny it is, it won’t be entered in the contest. Sorry, them’s the rules.

Good luck, biatches!

One of the great things about Twitter is that I’ve made the acquaintance of lots of new, fun and interesting people around the world that I would probably not have otherwise met. One of those people is Sherry Borzo, a very nice lady out in America’s heartland who has an interesting podcast in which she interviews entrepreneurs of various shapes and sizes. Recently, Sherry interviewed yours truly about my joke writing experiences (clearly it was a slow week for her), which was really fun!

If you’d like to know more about the exciting, high paying and oh so sexy world of late night monologue joke freelance writing, then listen here.

Thanks again, Sherry!
