'Saturday Night Live' writer and veteran stand-up comedian Alex English believes platforms like TikTok have changed the relationship a comic has to their audience—in the worst ways possible.
Alex English should be on summer break when I call him on a Thursday afternoon, but instead he’s fresh off of two stand-up sets in New York City, and is last-minute packing for a red-eye flight to London, where he will take the stage at the Top Secret Comedy Club that weekend. The work never ends when you’re, well, a working comedian. Since joining the SNL writers room in 2021 , English has shown an uncanny knack for the kind of humor that hits you in all the right places .
In my mind, I was like, could this be something? Me, Gary Richardsaon, and Michael Che got together and wrote that. Having worked in stand-up for so long, and now being on an institutional show like SNL, is there such a thing as taking a joke too far? Where’s your line? I don’t think so. People who consume comedy should always go into it with the understanding that this person on stage or these people on stage are just trying to make me laugh.
