At this point we expect all manner of celebrity to use ghostwriters for their autobiographies, like the permanent A list singer or a children's book like this former Disney actress or the alliterate former actress who now does something totally different. Back in the day, this mostly television actor who later in life has been rumored as a boyfriend of the blonde far right commentator/author had a staff of people who would write his jokes for him. He used all that television money to get a team of writers to write his standup for him or jokes for things he was hosting. In the standup comedy world that is pretty rare. There are lots of comic writers writing for host on award shows or late night shows, but not standup.
However, this A+ list comic who also does a lot of acting, and is a former late night actor has a team of people who write his standup for him. Then, he goes out and performs and those writers revise it and rework it and our comic goes out again and sees how the new stuff works. This team writes his standup specials and everything he does. There might have been a time way back in the day he did his own, but now, he just prefers to have others do it while he takes all the credit.
