Natalie Morales didn't mince words about Christopher Hitchens' infamous assertion that women can't be funny.
The "Access Hollywood" and "Today" host called the late British journalist an "a–hole" in two separate instances during Universal's CinemaCon presentation. Morales was emceeing the event and introducing footage from "Girls' Trip," an ensemble comedy with Queen Latifah.
In his 2007 essay, Hitchens wrote, that "bless their tender hearts," women aren't as funny as men. Hitchens died of esophageal cancer in 2011.
"There are more terrible female comedians than there are terrible male comedians, but there are some impressive ladies out there. Most of them, though, when you come to review the situation, are hefty or dykey or Jewish, or some combo of the three," Hitchens wrote in the controversial essay. "When Roseanne stands up and tells biker jokes and invites people who don't dig her shtick to suck her dick — know what I am saying?"
