“But I think the most insulting scandal to fall to the feet of the Biden administration was placed at the feet of our Madam Vice President Scandal of what does Kamala Which is a disrespectful question. That's a disrespectful question because nobody ever asked that question of the vice president until a woman got the job.”

“And then you button it with a call for legislation, which is really all it is. And we could have explained it more, but it's like, if you're groaning at it, then don't let conditions exist where I could even write a joke like that.”

“That joke got groans all the way through the run. We ran essentially we had a three-week runway. I've known since February I was doing the dinner, but we were just, you know, myself and headwriter, Christiana Makway. We were just putting jokes in a bucket and topics in a bucket. And then about three weeks out after I did my guest host a daily show, I could finally focus solely on the dinner. And every time I ran that joke, it got a groan, but I just felt like to me it was the right place to put a groan because I feel like it arose a groaner's good for pacing. I don't feel like I have the equity, the trust equity with the audience to do a groaner about a person. So do a growner about a topic.”

“And also, speaking of drag queens, can we stop with the groom and stuff? Can you stop talking about that? Drag queens are not at a school to groom your kids. Stop And even if they were, most of them kids gonna get shot at school. It ain't no problem. Grown past legislation I think Boo was gonna bother me. I'm like Mitch McConnell. I ain't got no soul.”

“Yeah, I mean, the bigger challenge for me is that I had to come in and make fun of liberals, though, which Biden didn't do.”

“Yeah, and then we reordered some of the Tucker Carlson Don lemon stuff because Biden hit it and he hit it hard. Biden's Don Lemon joke was killer So I'm like, okay, well, then I'm going to move up the Santos bit and the stuff about BET, because that was originally later in the act.”

“Because the room was already in a laughing mood, and he showed that he could be a little playful. So, the document joke doesn't work if Biden doesn't rip before me. We dropped a Rupert Murdoch joke. As the show is happening, I'm texting in real time with my writers. You know, they're telling me who's in the room. They're on social and just, hey, just so you know, Julia Fox is here and she's in Whiteface, if you want to make a joke. I'm like, I'll pass on that. Thank you for the offer. That's how I found out Foul Cheap is there. The second joke was Fauci. And that's how we solve the property brothers crisis.”

“Yes, there is a property brother emergency going on in the WhatsApp text thread. And I said, well, you know what would be funniest if Biden is speaking, I should just give him back one of his documents. Well, how do you do that? I don't know, but that feels funny. And it's going at the top dog in the room first joke. Which is the ballsy move, the first joke we're making in about him. Before you even know who I am.”

“The first one, because I didn't try it in the comedy clubs, I didn't do it anywhere. So here's what happened. The original opening line was greetings, members of the media, our nation's powerful leaders, and a property brother. We were told one property, brother. Go down to COVID testing at noon. I see both property brothers. So we've been giving bad intel So, the joke is screwed. So now I'm like, okay, we need a quick under five seconds”

“Daily show at best is probably second gear. What I am comedically on stage, you know, but at the correspondence gender, I have to be in fifth gear And so, who is this guy I don't know that is insulting these people that I respect?”

“Yes, the degree of difficulty in the risk of failure. It is a literal highwire from sentence to sentence. And in my opinion, I felt like I was coming in with one hand behind my back because no one really knows who I am. And if you do know me, it's from the Daily Show. And that's not my standup.”

“Yes, I would. I would do that again. I'm not going to say that it was. But it is essential. You have the undivided attention of every elected official and every highest ranking member of media on camera and in the C suite. The room at the same time, and you can say whatever you want to them. I don't believe that anything that I say is going to affect change in totality. Like I was joking with one of my writers for the dinner. I was like, there isn't one joke that's going to have somebody leave and reverse policy. you might be a little more centrist down the road on something right i think that's the best case scenario but It was easily Most horrific and most exciting experience I've ever had as a performer. Close second is Showtime at the Apollo.”
