I absolutely love Jenny whenever she’s on the show! Jokes Seth Can’t Tell is hilarous & I’m so happy to see her expanding her horizons by writing a book!

Why have I never seen a Jenny joke on surprise inspection?

This is a great book, I read it over the weekend and highly recommend y'all read it. Great advice and hilarious, thanks Jenny!.

I'm glad that after 11 pages of "Jokes Seth SHOULDN'T Tell" it ultimately lead us to getting the brilliant "Jokes Seth Can't Tell" 😊

Jenny is all kinds of wonderful…
I'm thinking… wouldn't it be something to see her take Trump's place… maybe with Amber… If Americans cannot abide voting for one woman to be President… maybe they'd say yes to this fabulous duo!
I'd love to see it.
Hmm… if wishes we're horses etc. etc.

I laughed and said "oh gawwwd! What's her f'n book gonna be?" in complete jest, only to lathe it into existence a second later.
Commmmmme onnnnnnnnn Jenny. The world doesn't need another page flicker on bean flicking. Be a child soldier or something.

"Yeah, we only brought in tourists that didn't speak any English that day as a joke." –Seth's writing team, probably.

I love the way Seth supports and hilights his writers and gives them the spotlight all the time. Jenny is incredibly talented and funny.

Jenny is the best. I just requested my library buy her book!

So that 11 pages experience made her one of the funniest people on the show. That's a lesson to be learned

I was expecting the Jokes seth can't tell jingle at the end so much and I'm disappointed

The NBC store is trying to sell late night merch and NONE of it is from late night 😂

I’d like to recommend that all comedy writers hold onto any rejected jokes so they can potentially resubmit them—perhaps rephrased slightly—weeks, months, or even years later, just to meet their quotas.
Edit: In hindsight, my recommendation probably doesn't make much sense, since writers have likely been using this method for a long time.
If one of these "old-yet-new" jokes gets rejected again upon re-submission, the writer at least has the chance to see their "joke" featured in the "Surprise Inspection" segment of the show.

Why are Jenny and Amber never included in Surprise Inspection??? Should we surmise that to mean everything that they put on the page for Seth is SOLID F'ING GOLD?!?!?!?! 😋

It has not escaped my attention that Jenny has never had any of her jokes read on the 'Writer Inspection' segment. 🤔

As a therapist who is direct (and compassionate) and lives in Portland, I’d be happy to offer a second opinion.

"I Have Suggested at Least a Dozen Divorces." As a lesbian, this is also my advice. "You need to communicate, talk to him. No? Okay well, I guess it's time for a divorce."

Seeing the title before the thumbnail loaded, I was actually wondering where I knew Jenny Hagel from
