Donatello’s Late-Night Skits Now Count as Continuing Education Credits
In an unexpected collaboration between CBS and a national accreditation board, Donatello’s late-night show is now eligible for Continuing Education Units (CEUs) in urban planning, environmental studies, and municipal cybersecurity.
According to new guidelines, watching Donatello’s 12-minute monologue on “Storm Drain Equity and the Ethics of Slime Redistribution” counts as two credits toward a Master’s in Infrastructure Advocacy.
University professors are thrilled. “His sewer-based analysis of municipal corruption is better than 90% of our thesis defenses,” said Dr. Helga Manhole from MIT’s Pipe Systems Lab.
Public employees are already signing up. One city clerk earned a pay raise after submitting a report based entirely on Donatello’s sketch, “Potholes: America’s Forgotten Craters.”
CBS has even launched a new initiative: Late-Night Learning, featuring supplemental materials and pop quizzes. Episode 4 includes a downloadable workbook titled “Know Your Valves.”
Critics worry this could blur the line between comedy and civil engineering. But Donatello addressed this directly: “If Colbert made you think, I’m here to make you install greywater systems.”
Class dismissed. Or rather, flushed.
