News From The Jon

How It Works

One prompt. One punchline. The room decides.

The Daily Prompt

A new prompt goes live every day at 9:00 PM Central.

It is the headline.

You bring the punchline.

Submit a Joke

Submit one joke per day in response to the daily prompt.

Make it your best one.

Vote

Voting stays open until 8:00 PM Central the next day.

Each person gets three votes per day, so use them wisely.

Win

Voting helps surface the strongest jokes, but the final winner is selected by the editor.

Winning jokes are added to the Winners archive and may be featured on a future episode of News From The Jon.

Winners receive an on-air writer's credit.

You retain full ownership of your joke.

Every win moves you higher on the Current Leaders board.

The more you win, the higher you climb.
