Every week, a dozen UCF students sit at a square table with their laptops, reading stories on media websites.
Like a pinball machine, they shoot headlines and jokes at each other, back and forth, until something sticks.
“If we laugh at it, somebody else has got to laugh at it,” says Jordan Faiella, 21, of Coral Springs.
Faiella is one of about 30 students who write, produce and film their own late night comedy talk show at the University of Central Florida. It’s the campus version of, say, Jimmy Fallon or Conan O’Brien.
