Comedy Writer Rob Kutner Has Some Advice for Forward Readers
Graphic by Angelie Zaslavsky
Emmy-winning writer Rob Kutner, who has written for “The Daily Show with Jon Stewart,” and who — until very recently — wrote for “The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien,” will be answering readers’ questions during the month of February, as the Forward’s guest Bintel Brief advice columnist. Kutner is the author of “Apocalypse How: Turn the End Times into the Best of Times” (Running Press 2008). His annual New York Purim spiel, “The Shushan Channel” — starring Liz Winstead and Joel McHale — goes live Saturday, February 27 at the 92Y Tribeca.

Why I became the Forward’s Editor-in-Chief
You are surely a friend of the Forward if you’re reading this. And so it’s with excitement and awe — of all that the Forward is, was, and will be — that I introduce myself to you as the Forward’s newest editor-in-chief.
And what a time to step into the leadership of this storied Jewish institution! For 129 years, the Forward has shaped and told the American Jewish story. I’m stepping in at an intense time for Jews the world over. We urgently need the Forward’s courageous, unflinching journalism — not only as a source of reliable information, but to provide inspiration, healing and hope.
Support our mission to tell the Jewish story fully and fairly.
