Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is it?
    • Today in Talk Show History is a comic that looks at events from today's date in history, and how they were addressed by the late night talk show monologues of their time.


    •  Why?
      • I like "this day in history" information, I like talk show monologue jokes, the internet lets me smash 'em together.


      • When?
        • New comics go up each weekday Monday through Friday.


        • Are they historically accurate?
          • The events referenced in the strip are from "that" day in history.  While the jokes may exaggerate or embellish some details of the event, I do my best to be as accurate as entertainingly possible.
