The Rejection Show

The Rejection Show is a comedic variety show that features the rejected or cut material of writers, comedians, cartoonists, artists, and others, who display their creative "failures" live on stage.^[1]

The Rejection Show was created by comedian and writer Jon Friedman (producer, host) in the summer of 2003 after a string of his own personal and creative rejections left him wanting to create a forum for such works.^{[citation needed]} The show features a variety of material that is both good and bad, from stories of personal heartbreak to rejected sketches from Saturday Night Live to rejected cartoons from The New Yorker.^{[citation needed]}

Material from The Rejection Show was published in book form in 2009 by Villard, titled Rejected: Tales of the Failed, Dumped and Cancelled.^[2]
