Finding the Funny: My Mad Ride Thru Late-Night Comedy will be published by Regalo Press on March 2, 2027. Smithberg first disclosed that she was working on her memoir in 2024, when it carried the tentative title Almost Funny: My Life in Late-Night Comedy. At The Daily Show she was instrumental in establishing a format that would reshape both Comedy Central and late-night television. Finding the Funny is described as part memoir, part comedy history and part master class in creative risk-taking. A newly launched website for Finding the Funny features advance praise from Letterman, Paul Shaffer, Carell, and Rocca.
