Auguste White: Auguste White is an American writer and comedian, who joined the writing staff of Saturday Night Live in 2022 for season 48, becoming the show’s youngest writer, as she was hired when she was 23 years old (fellow rookie writer Asha Ward, who is three months younger than her, now has that title). White has also opened for comedians like Ilana Glazer and former SNL cast member Melissa Villaseñor (who left the show just before White started writing for SNL), and has written for comedy publications such as McSweeney’s. She was a member of Yale’s award winning sketch comedy group, Red Hot Poker, which has launched the career of a few famous late night writers. Upon graduating from Yale, she was awarded the university’s prestigious Clapp Writing Fellowship, which has supported her work writing a collection of poems about Black life. Before SNL, White has developed a pilot which was named a finalist in ScreenCraft’s pilot competition. She then moved to Los Angeles, where she performed stand-up and worked on Mindy Kaling and Justin Noble’s hit series The Sex Lives of College Girls, before moving to New York.

Comedy Central Stand-Up Featuring: Half-hour stand-up specials have been a staple of the Comedy Central brand since the 90s. Even though the name of the TV show changed a few times and the airings have shifted online. Regardless, they are still alive and going strong.
