On Thursday, Nov. 30, Ben Kronengold ’18 and Rebecca Shaw ’18 read short essays at the Poorvu Center from their first book, “Naked in the Rideshare,” which hit bookshelves on Nov. 14. They graduated from Yale in 2018, moving on to become the youngest comedy writers to write for “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,” but they left the show a few years ago to work in scripted television and film. Their work has since been featured in The New Yorker — most recently, a chapter from “Naked in the Rideshare” was excerpted by Shouts and Murmurs — and McSweeney’s.
