But they did not take the typical path from Harvard to Hollywood. Their scenic route through show business included making their own videos before YouTube, to web series for a shuttered HBO website, to writing for Comedy Central\u2019s Chocolate News, and eventually to joining the original Late Night writing staff for Jimmy Fallon \u2014 where they birthed successful bits such as Slow Jam The News.
