The honor of judging the Golden Duke awards is the pinnacle of most careers. Take Rick Hertzberg: presidential speechwriter, New Republic editor, New Yorker editor, and Golden Duke judge. I think we all know which of those he’ll be most remembered for.

Joining Rick on this year’s panel of distinguished judges: the NSFW Susie Bright, comedian Sara Benincasa, Alex Pareene of Salon, and TPM alum Andrew Golis, who is now at Yahoo.

Remember: Your Golden Duke nominations are due today.
