Dance Funny Man - Writing For Late Night and Beyond With Comedian Jon Rineman

Jay Leno. Jimmy Fallon. Vince McMahon. Seth Meyers. Lorne Michaels. All MASSIVE names in the entertainment world.

All guys that Jon Rineman has wrote for.

Jon grew up in the seacoast of New Hampshire (shoutout Winnacunnet), and after dabbling with stand-up comedy in college, found himself getting paid by the joke to write for Jay Leno. He parlayed that work into a 9-year stint writing for Jimmy Fallon (including 2 as his head monologue writer) and 2 more working for Vince McMahon developing storylines for WWE.

The quarantine presented Rineman with the opportunity to move out of the late night world, as he now serves as the Head Writer for a new board game called ASSkills, a game written exclusively by comedians. In this episode we talked all about Jon's rise through the comedic ranks, what makes a good joke, and the time he rocked Lorne Michaels with a door.

If you want to keep up with Jon you can follow him on Twitter @rinemania or on his blog at rinemania.com.
