Rebecca Shaw and Ben Kronengold are a comedy-writing team who got their start on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. At 22 years old, they were the youngest writers in the show's run, and the ones most likely to cry if their sketch got cut. Since leaving late night, they've written an animated feature for DreamWorks, a Michael B. Jordan-led action-comedy for Amazon and a horror satire at Searchlight produced by Gloria Sanchez. The duo got their start after their Yale graduation speech in front of Hillary Clinton was viewed over 7 million times. Kronengold &amp; Shaw have been featured on Variety's Power of Young Hollywood List, written for publications like McSweeney's and Shouts &amp; Murmurs and were profiled by The New Yorker. Their debut book of short stories, Naked in the Rideshare, was published in 2023 by HarperCollins and called "a brilliant collection" by Mindy Kaling and "genius" by Will Ferrell, but they had dirt on him.
