My Take
Andy Borowitz writes satire with a scalpel, and I admire it deeply. A Shaker Heights kid turned Harvard man, he brings a sharp, literate wit to everything he touches. People forget he co-created The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air before pivoting to The Borowitz Report, where he skewers current events with deadpan precision. To me, his real gift is exposing the absurd gap between what powerful people say and what they mean, all while making you laugh instead of shout. Winning the National Press Club's first humor award fits perfectly. He represents, for me, the ideal of comedy used as serious commentary.
