3. Conan O’Brien – Trump Is Not Comedy Gold
Donald Trump may have orange skin, but Conan O’Brien has orange hair. O’Brien, who said Trump behaves like someone from another planet, has trouble turning his soundbites into comedy saying: “It’s so absurd. How comedy works is, you say the setup, and it’s not supposed to make people laugh. With Trump, you say the setup, and people are laughing. And then you’re supposed to top that! I find it actually more difficult.”
Even though Trump’s unfiltered remarks are stealing the thunder from his jokes, O’Brien would like us to know what kind of humor a president should have. He says, “I like my president to see the world as an absurd, screwed-up place, and have a sense of irony about it, because I think that’s the best human characteristic someone can have if they’re trying to lead the free world.” He’s clearly talking about himself, right?
