Smart, Funny Guy Admits He Might Be Wrong

March 13, 2025



No, that title is not a misprint from The Onion. Joining Thursday Buzz hosts Tony Castañeda and Eli Wilz is Emmy and Peabody-winning speechwriter and comedy writer Jeffrey Maurer, whose career includes, interestingly, long stints at both the EPA and John Oliver’s HBO show Last Week Tonight.


His new project – the political comedy Substack “I Might Be Wrong” promises comedy, politics and swearing in pretty much equal amounts. With a background in Political Science, Government and International Relations, he’s probably a heckuva lot more qualified than most who pontificate on politics, and, well, I might be wrong, but his ability to make us laugh might be just what we need to stay informed and engaged, instead of enraged.
