I talk with Maureen Monahan about her time working at the animated satirical show Tooning Out The News. She talks about what it was like developing the characters of the animated news anchors who host the show, what it was like to interview prominent guests like Rudy Giuliani, and the challenges of tackling Trump and COVID. She talks about her time working at The Onion and headlines she wrote that drew the attention of famous people like Clay Aiken and even Monica Lewinsky.  We also discuss how she started out in comedy at Second City and her sketch duo Spooky Dooky, which she performs in with Claire McFadden.  --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
