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:

The Late Show with Stephen Colbert (CBS)

Saturday Night Live S39 & S40 (NBC)

Triumph's Summer Election Special (HULU)

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

I recently started a new adventure as Vice President of Production at Betches Media.

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

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

I’ve also lost seven 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.
