    hmm, interesting point, sir. never thought that giving a speech, a comedy speech no less, to a room filled with politicians with little to no sense of humor would be such a daunting task to take on. usually, it should be an honor to be invited to such places, but i guess this goes to show that the whole "diversity, equality and inclusion" falls flat when they neglect to hire/elect neurodiverse folks (because those are the kinds of people who DO get us, and comedy).
    thank you for sharing this insight :3

    In a political environment a comedian is only allowed to be so funny. Comedians are supposed to cross the line. Tragedy and comedy revolve around a common center the difference is a moments perception. God forbid that you would provide a glimpse of the truth. Comedy at Nuremberg- very funny.

    I did a video on it, not that you'll watch. I get it that for you comedy is just entertainment. It's a profession. Get everyone bending over in laughter. Not fair to criticize a comedian who has to work in such a difficult space. You're right. I couldn't agree more. Most of Colin Jost's jokes about Trump and Republicans would have done much better in a theater. Then we'd have a better chance of getting Biden re-elected. We could put the killing of tens of thousands of women and children behind us. The hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians and Russians dead because, well, who cares! I'm losing the thread. I need to re-watch this video, get back to the important things people don't understand.
