About Jay Servedio
On the Watchlist is a brand-new live late-night comedy series created and hosted by Jay Servedio. Rooted in a chaotic, absurdist voice, the show dives into the week's headlines, media manipulation and political theatre. Each episode features Jay's incisive monologue, live sketches, field segments and character interviews with comedians portraying public figures, plus conversations with real journalists, writers and cultural critics. Smart, silly and unapologetically weird, it is described as equal parts comedy show, social autopsy and media exorcism — an exploration of the Age of Misinformation.
Why see this show?
If you enjoy satire that doesn't take itself too seriously, this late-night format blends sharp political commentary with genuinely absurdist comedy. A 60-minute show with real bite and plenty of silliness.
