What does the future hold for comedians--and for comedy in general, and how will <strong>laughter continue to carry us through</strong> these unsettling and unprecedented times?</p><br><p>If you have questions of etiquette or suggestions for a future show topic please send them to <a href="mailto:[email protected]" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">[email protected].</a></p><br><p><strong>For more information on all things modern-manners related, please follow Thomas</strong> on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/mistermanners/?hl=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Instagram</a> and <a href="https://twitter.com/mistermanners?lang=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Twitter</a></p><p>@MisterManners&nbsp;and on <a href="https://open.acast.com/shows/5e5d8aeb4b77537d5fa74a3d/episodes/www.facebook.com/mistermanners" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Facebook</a> at&nbsp;<a href="https://open.acast.com/www.facebook.com/mistermanners" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.facebook.com/mistermanners</a></p><br><p><strong>Follow Tom Kelly Here:</strong></p><p><a href="https://thomasjkelly.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Website</strong></a><strong>: </strong>https://thomasjkelly.com/</p><p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/TomKellyShow" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Facebook</strong></a><strong>:</strong> https://www.facebook.com/TomKellyShow</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/TomKellyShow" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>YouTube</strong></a><strong>: </strong>https://www.youtube.com/user/TomKellyShow</p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/tomkellyshow/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Instagram</strong></a><strong>:</strong> https://www.instagram.com/tomkellyshow/</p><br><p><strong>Also Mentioned in this Episode</strong></p><p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Letterman" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>David Letterman</strong></a><strong>:</strong> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Letterman</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O8XGv4TOrFU" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Tom Kelly on The View</strong></a><strong>: </strong>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O8XGv4TOrFU</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nhCzWoBpOGg" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Tom Kelly Meets Leonard Nimoy</strong></a><strong>:</strong> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nhCzWoBpOGg</p><br><p>Thanks so much to "What Manners Most" producer <strong>Martin Burgess</strong>.
