He’s so outrageous that it’s hard to top that. I want the show to get people thinking in terms of these things.It's the least funny thing to say that out loud by the way.

I’m exhausted as well, but it’s happening, he's what’s happening and he's so good at sucking all the oxygen out of the room. That’s all I want. I don’t perform in certain pockets of the country, in certain clubs, because I know no one's going to laugh. So stand-up wise, yes, every comedian does at some point. From my experience working at "the Daily Show" and other stuff like that, I try really hard to produce things as ethically as we can in the confines of what we’re doing, and so I want to make sure people feel safe.

We all struggle with that all the time and it’s like, what people are laughing at and why are they laughing is also a really important thing to consider, especially in light of the past year. . Nothing is less funny than like showing your cards and being like 'this is my goal. For the more recent one, a lot of my ideas come from articles that I'll read and I came across an article about a woman who said that she was — I think — sexually harassed while playing an online game and she said 'I know it wasn’t harassment or assault, but it felt like it,' and so that gave me the idea of exploring that territory.

I think if there were any moments where I had an instinct to cross the line, Jon [Stewart] would always reign me in in the edit. But what happens with the article was that they talk to the small percentage of people who false report or whatever and I just wanted to find a funny way to talk about something that is really an epidemic. Through her experiential field work, she forces young men to physically see beyond the male gaze — to feel what it's like not to be believed, to be gaslighted, to be objectified and harassed and then called sensitive — if only for five minutes of their lives. And the more that I read about harassment in gaming, the more I realized that it's also a pretty big problem.It’s really funny that you said that because I had one of my male EPs [who] was like 'this is a little similar to the campus rape piece' and I was like, there are so many facets of society where women or people are harassed and assaulted in different ways that we could just do a whole show, like a whole season, on the different nuanced ways that people are harassed and assaulted. And while it seems like her specials will be particularly influential to men, as a woman there's definite pleasure in watching their assumptions get disrupted and dismantled too.I talked to Friedman, an alumnus of "The Daily Show" and "Late Show with David Letterman," about how to conduct field pieces ethically and how comedy has transformed under President Trump.Well, the campus rape one was an idea that I had while I was working at "The Daily Show." In the first installment of her Adult Swim special, "Soft Focus with Jena Friedman," she delivers a segment about campus rape where she gets the company In Friedman's follow-up special, which premieres Jan. 25, she takes on tFriedman's voice and vision is refreshing in its originality, but still stingingly political and relevant to the current times. But I think the sexual harassment gaming segment is really what I wanted to make sure that they saw.It was really hard at first and I've talked about this a lot. 'I’m so glad you like it, too, because it's scary, this stuff is right on the line. So as of this date, if you don’t think the line is crossed, then let’s get that on record. So when people dig it up in five years and get mad at me, they'll at least have an archive that everything was OK in 2019.Copyright © 2019 Salon.com, LLC.

The cool thing about these Adult Swim shows, a lot of  people who watch that are guys who are teens and in their 20s, and that’s not my target demo, but I love the idea of getting to talk to them and that was really what motivated this show.This is my attempt to reach a younger male demographic. But it’s funny that you picked up on that, because he didn’t and it’s interesting.I mean that’s the goal.
