| 👋 Hi there, friends of The Short List! I'm Nicole Fallert, and it's my pleasure to share with you some of the best reads of the week from the USA TODAY newsroom. |
| 😂 From TikTok stars to up-close comedian specials, what does the future of comedy look like? There's no doubt the world is changing – and thus comedy is evolving too. But is the future bright for the genre, or is it being diluted amid "cancel culture" and a more conscious society? USA TODAY explores this question in a new series about what's next for the industry. |
| What's making us laugh – or not: |
| • | The importance of punching up: There's a fierce dispute among comedians over who should be the subject of a joke: Those with less power or those in positions of power. | | • | Do stereotypes have a place in comedy? Stereotypes have long been embedded into American comedy and the jokes, more often than not, are aimed at marginalized communities. And a once tried-and-true method of unifying people has now divided audiences across generations. | | • | A new wave of authentic comedy: Meet the comedians earning laughs on TikTok — and refueling the industry with sincere humanity. | |
 | | Comedians are flocking to TikTok and changing the comedy industry. Pictured here from top left are Leo González, Ben Brainard, Elyse Myers, Robyn Schall, Jacon Milan and Misha. | | Photos provided to USA TODAY | |
