Temple Tonight
Fall 2025 - Spring 2026
Temple Tonight is Temple’s first late-night comedy talk show, and we have just as much fun behind the scenes as we do delivering the jokes on camera. From quick script rewrites to last-minute set adjustments, the energy never really turns off. The laughs don’t stop when filming ends, they just move backstage.
About
TUTV is Temple University’s student-run television station that broadcasts throughout the Philadelphia area on Channel 50 (Comcast) and Channel 45 (Verizon Fios). The station showcases programming created by students in the Klein College of Media and Communication, along with content from other Temple schools and community and professional media partners. During my time at Temple, I had the opportunity to work with TUTV, contributing to student-produced programming and gaining hands-on experience in live television production.
From Booking Talent to
Running the Show
As Talent Coordinator, I was responsible for sourcing and securing guests for the show. That meant outreach, scheduling, confirming availability, and ensuring guests felt prepared and confident before stepping on set. I learned how much preparation shapes performance — a well-informed guest creates stronger content.
This role sharpened my communication skills and taught me how to represent the show professionally. Every email, every confirmation, and every interaction set the tone before cameras even turned on.
It was my introduction to the idea that strong production starts long before filming.

Moving into Production Manager shifted my focus from individual coordination to overall communication. I served as the liaison between cast, crew, and the executive board, managing internal emails, updates, timelines, and ensuring everyone was aligned.
This role required clarity and consistency. When information flows smoothly, production runs smoothly. I learned how to organize moving parts, anticipate questions, and maintain structure under deadline pressure. It strengthened my leadership presence in a quieter way — not by being in front, but by keeping everything connected.
This role showed me how much smooth communication impacts the energy of an entire production.

As Executive Producer, I oversaw the entire show from concept to completion. I worked across departments to ensure timelines were met, creative direction stayed cohesive, and every team member understood their role in the bigger picture.
This position demanded decision-making, accountability, and the ability to balance creative vision with logistical realities. I wasn’t just contributing anymore — I was responsible for the outcome.
Stepping into this role reinforced how much I value both storytelling and structure. Leading a production taught me how to manage pressure, trust a team, deliver something polished and intentional, and occasionally make difficult calls for the good of the show
