I would love to see Chris Rock host the 2015 WHCD!
He was hilarious! Loved so many of his jokes.
Me too…it’ll never happen though. Did you see the Chris Rock ad where he says Obama is “juuuuust white”?
Ouch. A lot of his jokes were biting indictments of cable and the politicians in the room. So many faux disaprovals with “ooohs” and “ohs” I thought some in the audience were gonna walk out. Very thin skinned lot. Wolf Blitzer did not look very happy, that’s for sure. Most of these people in the pundit class can dish it out, but they sure can’t take it. Christie was handed his ass when McHale did that simile over how a bad joke that wasn’t written by him would be investigated. Now that was probably his funniest part I thought. Anyone see Christie laughing at that one? I didn’t.
Joel was on Howard Stern’s show this week and gave out one joke that he cut from his routine:
When discussing our first African American president, conservatives are quick to say, ‘No, no he’s half white’.
Let’s face it, the only person who really knows if Obama is actually black is Michelle Obama.
