Nerd Prom

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

Obama was funny and the jokes were less canned. Larry Wilmore is bombing, and the press isn't taking his jokes directed at them that well. But the press still suck more than Wilmore's jokes.

Obama was fantastic, and I hope this isn't the last that we have seen up standup-Obama. Larry Willmore...uuuuuuuggggggghhhhhhhhh. Of course he had a few good lines in there, but my goodness he had so many duds.

It wasn't his fault. The press was hostile. If you don't kiss their ass, expect them to turn on you. That doesn't change the fact that he wasn't particularly good, but the CNN panel that just panned him was based out of typical Ivory Tower "Higher Calling" bs.

If I were the POTUS, I'd literally skip the event. Simply wouldn't humor these parasites. Or I'd come to personally deliver their one way tickets to Eritrea, of course.

Larry Wilmore was always a character actor, it's just for some reason networks continue to try to make him a leading man.

Yeah, I don't really see him lasting long at Comedy Central. He's alright, but I just feel he'll be sacked by the network in favor of a fresher face.

Obama was, as usual, fantastic. Trump should be very afraid of him on the stump for the general.

Oh god, can you imagine a completely unrestrained Obama with nothing to lose taking it to Trump?  Obama has five years of mockery to unleash on Trump and you know he'll slay.

Wilmore sucked donkey balls.  The legendarily awkward and quiet Colbert speech had way more laughter in actuality than Wilmore's did.  The reason the press didn't like Wilmore's jokes about them isn't that they're full of themselves -- the press gets mocked at this event every year -- it was because they weren't funny.  There wasn't even much of a joke, it was just "Hey, print journalism, you suck.  Oh just kidding, haha I'm just kidding, you're great!"

[Mr. Smith]

Yeah, I fell asleep during Willmore's bit, easily the worst of the Obama follow-ups, let alone trying to compete with Cecily Strong, Conan O'Brien, or Seth Meyers.

Obama was still on top of it, great jokes all around, wouldn't be disappointed if he went the way of a TV comedian at all.

[Maxwell]

I feel like Obama is the only one who can get under Trump's skin.

Where can I watch this?

The first half of Willmore was alright but the whole "ZODIAC KILLER!" again and again was just cringe/facepalm worthy.

"That Jigaboo said what?" was his best line.
