Madeleine Smithberg, co-creator and original executive producer of The Daily Show, takes readers on a VIP backstage tour as she relives some of the most seminal moments in late-night comedy.
For more than four decades, Madeleine Smithberg helped shape the world of late-night comedy from behind the scenes. A three-time Peabody Award winner and Emmy-winning producer, she was instrumental in some of television’s most influential late-night comedy programs. From producing outrageous segments for Late Night with David Letterman to helping create and build the original Daily Show, she shares the triumphs, disasters, and unexpected lessons behind some of television’s most memorable moments.
Warm, candid, and laugh-out-loud funny, Finding the Funny is both a backstage pass to the evolution of modern comedy and the story of a trailblazing woman who built a remarkable career. Part memoir, part comedy history, and part master class in creative risk-taking, it is an entertaining and inspiring look at what it really takes to find the funny.

“Smithberg took a chance, hiring an unknown, untested, aspiring actor from the Chicago Theater scene. It was his biggest break and it changed his career forever. But enough about Stephen Colbert. She hired me right after that, and I owe her a lot.”
(Steve Carell)“It was Madeleine’s unique guest bookings that got people’s attention in those early days. We all loved her brain, her energy, and her Rolodex (Google it). Turns out she’s also a good storyteller. I know you’ll enjoy this book.”
(David Letterman)“Madeleine‘s rise from affable and effective staffer on Letterman to the creator of one of the most influential television shows in the history of political comedy is the stuff of legend. ‘How did she do it?’ one might ask. In this marvelous book, we finally learn the answer. It’s legendary!”
(Paul Shaffer, Late Night and Late Show bandleader)“Madeleine’s pioneering life in comedy is a lot like her laugh: full-throated, uncensored, involves real tears—wait, is she actually crying?—messy, totally unladylike, and absolutely glorious.”
(Mo Rocca, CBS Sunday Morning and Original Daily Show correspondent)“I was there at the beginning and this is a story I didn’t know. How ‘The Daily Show’ came to be and what went on behind the scenes. It’s a story worth telling. Madeleine tells it well. And it’s funny.”
(Lewis Black, comedian and actor)“Revealing and insightful, personal and playful, and bust-a-gut hilarious on every page. Madeleine never had to look far to find the funny. It’s always been right there in her own creative hands.”
(Bill Carter, author, The Late Shift, editor-at-large, LateNighter)“Steve Carell owes Madeleine Smithberg a lot.”
(Stephen Colbert)“She changed my life—and now she’ll change yours. Reading her book is like getting a job on The Daily Show, but funnier.”
(Lauren Weedman, Emmy-winning Actor on Hacks, former correspondent, The Daily Show)“When Comedy Central decided to create a late night show in 1996 we only had one person in mind to develop and produce it. Madeleine Smithberg. She was a seasoned producer with canny comedic instincts and one of the world’s greatest laughs. In other words, perfect. There would be no Daily Show without her.”
(Doug Herzog, former president Comedy Central)
