Hey, New York, tonight I am speaking at the KGB as part of the storytelling series Tale about being harassed by a member of one of my favorite bands. Come check it out and say hello!
This Friday, I will be taking part in the live storytelling event Tale at @KGBBarRedRm, NYC's coolest bar. I will be telling the story of how I was once accosted by one of my favorite rock stars. I hope you can make it out!

After a troubled monologue, one “SNL” sketch offered a sly exploration of male obliviousness—and Shane Gillis was the perfect host to embody it, Michael Tedder argues: theatlantic.com/culture/2026…
On last night’s Saturday Night Live, Shane Gillis had a rough opening monologue, flubbed a sketch by cursing, and still anchored a great bit about man caves and the emotionally stunted state of the American Man. I broke it all down for @TheAtlantic

I am so proud to work with our fearless Editor-in-Chief, Tatiana Tenreyro and our team of editors and contributors. Starting a new print magazine in this climate isn’t easy, but it's worth it, because community is worth it.

The progressive left are experiencing A Moment, and the backlash has taken on a strangely…lascivious tone. For the nice people at @Salon, I broke down what it all means.

Colin Jost and Michal Che’s “Weekend Update” joke swap works because of the sheer shock value, but also because it’s strangely sweet, @mtedder argues: theatlantic.com/culture/2026…

For the Atlantic, I wrote about Colin Jost and Michael Che’s Weekend Update Joke Swap, a celebration of friendship, bad taste, and the importance of context.

I wrote about Devo, X and the long goodbye of the pioneers of the Alternative Rock movement for Spin; it was an absolute thrill to interview Gerald Casale and Exene Cervenka. Now the piece is online, I hope you enjoy!

“SNL” paid tribute to NASA’s Artemis II mission with a simple, bittersweet joke, Michael Tedder writes: One astronaut attempted to explain why science still matters, and his crewmates repeatedly ruined the vibe. theatlantic.com/culture/2026…
For The Atlantic, I wrote about Saturday Night Live’s Artemis II sketch, a goofy yet bittersweet mash note to how science can briefly bring humanity together. I also talked about frozen snot. Enjoy!

The new issue of ANTICS is out with a cover story by yours truly, and great pieces from some of the hungriest, sharpest writers in the game, including Molly O’Brien, Dash Lewis, Elise Soutar, Matthew Perpetua, Spencer Hughes, Zach Schonfeld, and more.

In my latest piece for @TheAtlantic, I wrote about Saturday Night Live’s mash-up of MAHA and The Pitt, and why all attention is good attention when you are in the attention business.

For Spin, I wrote about Jakob Nowell stepping into his father's shoes and the return of Sublime.
