Join Emmy Award-nominated writer, comedian, and director Chelsea Devantez for a conversation with Jon Stewart on comedy, candor, and Devantez’ new book, I Shouldn’t Be Telling You This (But I’m Going to Anyway).
There are things Chelsea Devantez probably shouldn’t be telling you, like how her family used lawn chairs as living room furniture, or how she used to date a magician. Then there are things Chelsea really shouldn’t be telling you: like the time her biggest family secret was publicly outed, or the domestic violence she survived as a teenager. In her hilarious and inspiring new collection of essays, Devantez tracks her life from a childhood in precarity to a burgeoning career in comedy to becoming the head writer for The Problem with Jon Stewart. In this candid conversation between two longstanding friends, hear her and Stewart discuss the book, the moments in their lives that brought them to comedy, stories from the set, and more.
