Spring Intern - SNL, Late Night & The Tonight Show Production

Job Description

Responsibilities
The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon made its debut from Studio 6B in Rockefeller Center on Feb. 17, 2014. Emmy Award- and Grammy Award-winning comedian Jimmy Fallon brings a high-tempo energy to the storied NBC franchise with his welcoming interview style, love of audience participation, spot-on impersonations and innovative sketches. For almost 60 years, ''The Tonight Show'' has been an American television institution home to big-name celebrity guests and top musical and comedic talent. Taking a cue from predecessors, including hosts Johnny Carson and Jay Leno, Fallon carries on the tradition audiences know and love. Known for his huge online presence, Fallon also brings along many popular segments, celeb sketches and musical parodies that fans have grown to love on ''Late Night,'' including Hashtags, Thank You Notes and Slow Jam the News. The critically praised Grammy-winning group The Roots serves as ''The Tonight Show'' house band.

Late Night with Seth Meyers is home to A-list celebrity guests, memorable comedy and topical monologue jokes. It is hosted by Emmy Award-winning writer and one of the 2014 TIME 100, Time magazine's 100 most influential people, Seth Meyers. Previously, Meyers served as head writer on ''Saturday Night Live'' and anchor on the show's wildly popular ''Weekend Update.'' An established comedian, Meyers is known for his perfectly timed wit and off-the-cuff satire. Meyers' fellow ''Saturday Night Live'' cast member and friend Fred Armisen serves as music director/drummer for the house band, The 8G Band with Fred Armisen.

Saturday Night Live, NBC's Emmy Award-winning late-night comedy showcase, enters its 47th season for another year of laughs, surprises and great performances. Since its inception in 1975, ''SNL'' has launched the careers of many of the brightest comedy performers of their generation and, as The New York Times noted on the occasion of the show's Emmy-winning 25th anniversary special in 1999: ''In defiance of both time and show business convention, 'SNL' is still the most pervasive influence on the art of comedy in contemporary culture.'' At the close of the century, ''Saturday Night Live'' placed seventh on Entertainment Weekly's list of the Top 100 Entertainers of the past 50 years.

Opportunities may include (but are not limited to):
