Sketchpad comedy5/24/2023 “Be prepared for the things that you want, so that when they come your way you’re ready for them. One great piece of advice that Vatterott shares in the interview is… The set he put together for Fallon was so well put together and memorable that it makes me want to get way better! I’ve attached those videos below. The sketch was awesome, but I was even more impressed by his tight 5. One of those is the cold open sketch he wrote for the Critics’ Choice Awards (hosted by TJ Miller) and the other one is his Late Night With Jimmy Fallon appearance. It also has some awesome videos from Vatterott. It has a lot of great advice about how to get started writing and that sort of thing.
