Hello, my name is Jake Plunkett.  I'm a comedy director/producer based out of New York City.  I've worked on many shows including:

Saturday Night Live (NBC)

The Late Show with Stephen Colbert (CBS)

Triumph's Summer Election Special (HULU)

I’ve also done work with brands like Nanit, Carnival Cruises, Hilton Hotels, L’Oreal Paris, Pepsi, Mentos, Samsung, Johnson & Johnson, & Epson.

I pride myself on being a Swiss Army knife in that I can EP, direct, write, or line produce. I’m also very good in tight deadlines, with high level talent, with all types of budgets.

I like light hearted comedy and running a light hearted set. My dream is to make a Christmas movie.

I’ve won a Peabody & three Emmys for my work on the Late Show w/ Stephen Colbert.

I’ve also lost eight Emmys for my work on the Late Show w/ Stephen Colbert. So I’m not all good.

Work with me, won't you?  

 

WHY ME?

I’VE DIRECTED A-LIST CELEBRITES, POLITICIANS, ATHLETES, ANIMALS, CHILDREN, AND EVEN MY MOTHER.

I’VE WORKED ON TIGHT BUDGETS WITH EVEN TIGHTER DEADLINES.

I’M UNFLAPPABLE WHICH MY THERAPIST SAYS IS A WARNING SIGN THAT I’M DEAD INSIDE.
