That’s how I am too. I read the jokes in text form above and was cracking up. Then watched it and was like, “bleh.” Difference between a great joke writer and a great joke teller. Wilmore’s definitely the former.

As an biracial person, 100% of my relationships are interracial.

These jokes were done a thousand time before ( Seth Meyer did the white hair bit), and it was just zinger after zingers. I think he did poorly, but it’s difficult to come after cool and smooth Obama.

He consistently has great one-liners, but his delivery almost always seems off. I was hoping he’d hit his stride with the show, but guess that’s just his way.

DAMNIT! I should have just said it out loud instead of trying to figure out what Twitter abbreviation it was. Dying laughing over here. Thanks!

The should have had Obama do Larry’s mono too, that man has it down. I was dying.

Killer Mike.

I thought the jokes were funny. Larry Wilmore, not so much. Honestly, I don’t like his delivery.

She sorta back tracked on her being OK with Trump winning because of hopes for a revolution on Colbert last week.

I was cracking up (or cringing in a good way) almost the entire time. The “Obama’s hair is so white it says all lives matter” killed me. And the part about Morning Joe was so incredibly real. Don Lemon actually handled it the best in my opinion. Yes he flipped him off but it was obviously in a joking way.

Blech. Sarandon. Rich, white woman wanting revolution that she can watch from another country while she sips on her martini.

I think it wasn’t that great, except for the drones and killing bits, and the Zodiac Killer. Like, the world knows now. Apart from that, too many one liners, not enough build. Not surprising that no one laughed, a white crowd fangirling on Obama isn’t the best place to make those jokes. As the Guardian reflected

This is the guy who abuses you, and then is so fucking incredulous that you called the cops and “ruined his life” that he comes back to hurt you again.

As if that was worth the universal disbelief, scorn and lack of support any woman who reports her rape experiences.

What if...okay what if...guys guys what if...what if food ate people?

Thank you!

If Philip Roth was allowed to write the same fucking story over and over, about boring, ruthless men on navel-gazing quests for sexual fulfillment —and win prizes for it — and be called one of the greatest writers of his generation — I think we as a culture can afford Beyoncé space to take what is personal toher and
