No one was left unscathed during Noah’s no-holds-barred set, from Democrats like Kyrsten Sinema (“openly bisexual but closeted Republican”) and Republicans like Ron DeSantis (“He won’t even tell people if he got the booster. Or as they say in Florida, ‘Don’t ask, don’t tell’”).

There were also plenty of jokes at the expense of beleaguered media figures like Chris Cuomo and Jeffrey Toobin, who he said could still win the Grammy Award for Best Comedy Album after “whipping it out” in front of his colleagues.

“This is an exclusive event,” he added. “In fact, coming in, I heard Meghan McCain telling the bouncer, ‘Do you know who my father was?!’ They were like, you have a ticket, you can come in, but she insisted on telling them who her father was anyway.”

To Meet the Press host Chuck Todd, Noah asked, “How are you doing? I’d ask a follow-up, but I know you don’t know what those are.” When the crowd groaned, he added, “Don’t boo him, he’s trying!”

The host then compared Fox News to a Waffle House, explaining, “It’s relatively normal in the afternoon, but as soon as the sun goes down there is a drunk lady named Jeanine threatening to fight every Mexican who comes in.” He said the network’s primetime lineup is so “impactful” that their “segments about vaccines moved their viewers… into the ICU.”

Spotting Fox’s Laura Ingraham in the crowd, Noah said, “Wow, what can you say about her that hasn't already been said by the Anti-Defamation League?”

1. Vaccinated and boosted....

“I know there are questions about whether we should gather here tonight because of COVID,” Biden added later. “Well, we’re here to show the country that we’re getting through this pandemic. Plus, everyone had to prove they were fully vaccinated and boosted. So if you’re at home watching this and you wonder how to do that, just contact your favorite Fox News reporter. They’re all here, vaccinated and boosted, all of them.”

For good measure, the camera cut to Fox’s Peter Doocy, who barely cracked a smile.

2. Just wondering why Trevor kept calling

DeSantin “deSanctin?” Is that Latin for something unholy?
He kept doing it over and over so I think it was intentional.

[localroger]

6. The closed captions consistently called him "Rhonda Sanchez." /nt

[intrepidity]

26. If they can call Biden "Brandon"

then we get to call Ron "Rhonda"

[wnylib]

13. De-sanctified? I don't know.

[tavernier]

17. Yes, something like that I would guess.

Sanctus means Holy, and possibly adding the de makes it unholy?
At first I thought he just made a mistake with his name, but he kept saying it that way over and over and sort of emphasizing it. I was surprised this morning not to read something about that in the media published pieces.

12. Huggggggs. Hope your day gets better.

[USALiberal]

16. +1000

[USALiberal]

15. I wish posters would use capital letters!!!

[PatSeg]

19. We all have our preferences

and reasons for why we post things a certain way. Sometimes the poster thinks that a particular word or idea warrants emphasis. It is a common practice among writers. The same with the use of italics. I've never found it annoying or distracting and sometimes it makes a long article more readable.

I hope your day gets better.

[Boomerproud]

5. Oh, sounds like the folks in attendance are snowflakes.

They all deserve a huge smackdown.

8. He was excellent

Loved the dig at Fuckie Todd

[PatSeg]

20. Oh yes, that was perfect!

[dalton99a]

24. +1. He did a fantastic job

[malaise]

25. Was glad he reminded CNN that news is not always breaking

I often wonder if that is the name of all of their programs. Breaking news no longer has any meaning thanks to M$Greedia.

9. ...drunk lady named Jeanine...!!

[ancianita]

10. He killed it softly, with a delivery flair like no other. LOVE Trevor Noah.

[Evolve Dammit]

11. hilarious! Thanks for posting

22. Good comedians are so clever and honest. It's a part of their nature.

Who would have thought they'd also make the best political leaders in times of desperate struggle who are ingenious front men when their nation gets invaded? An agricultural nation hardly any Americans could find on a labeled map before Putin marked it with a big "Z" may "David" the "Goliath" with a comedian at its helm.

27. we deathsantan even there?

Trevor has nerves of steel
