Larry Wilmore is an IDIOT.........like,........BIG .....TIME.....

May have been disrespectful to the office (yeah, pretty much but at that event it's expected...it's kind of a roast of all of DC), but hey it's Obama's Correspondents Dinner he's allowed to have whoever he likes up there and they can say what they want to him.

Slow news day eh Brock?

Agreed; Wilmore can be a bit in and out for me; in part because sometimes I do not get the 'American-ness' of the joke. But at times he is seriously funny; and I am bit of a sucker for the deadpan, sarky comedian.

Obama has at most times though, genuine comedic timing.


(That last comment can be taken two ways!).

I'm not a fan of Wilmore or the new Daily Show Host Trevor Noah....but then again I wasn't a fan of Jon Stewart either so go figure

We have a couple of shows on 'Network TV' in the UK; Live at the Apollo, three Comedians perform at the Apollo Theatre, London and QI; a panel show/quiz, where the answers are seemingly impossible so the panelists have to give 'Quite Interesting' answers; Noah did both a few years back and you could see his fellow comedians were very, very impressed, he has something about him.

I too, am not totally sold, but he clearly is very professional (when not on Twitter ).
