Description:
The Daily Show is looking for eager and adaptable candidates for the fall semester.
Duties:
This is a production-focused opportunity where interns will learn the inner workings of a legacy late-night show. Each intern will work directly with various departments to learn how the show is made from the ground up each day.
Those departments include, but are not limited to, Audience, Talent, Post-Production and Field. They rely heavily on their interns and consider them to be the backbone of production, which is why it’s important that interns are both exited to be there and understand that even though this is a comedy show, it is a serious job.
