Larry Wilmore

[Stinky The Clown]

How funny (or unfunny) was Larry Wilmore? 10 is very funny. 1 is terrible.

Of course, and as usual, Obama was the best comic in the room.

1. Painful to watch. nt

[Armstead]

2. We finally agree on something

[sufrommich]

3. ....

[JimDandy]

7. Yes...Those jokes that would have worked good on his show

probably sounded too pointed with the butts of them right there in the room.

[DVRacer]

4. I don't find him funny

I just don't and that was hard to watch I have seen comics fail on stage and it's just painful. That was painful.

20. Missing Steven Colbert as that show's host...

...all the more so. Wilmore is an unfunny guy.

5. He broke the rule - the humor has to be kind - like Obama does - it can't be

in your face overt slam. I think Blitzer is horrible and doesn't do followup, as Larry said - but you have to angle that in in a way that doesn't mortify the man.

8. You can be fairly mean if you're funny,he's not funny.nt

6. bad crowd...i thought he was funny

[W_HAMILTON]

9. Here is a link to his part of the show:

Assuming the link works......

Everyone has been talking about him, but I didn't have a chance to see it live. I'm watching it now -- seems funny the first couple of minutes that I've seen so far.

10. I thought he was mostly funny

I thought he was pretty on target for most of it.

[UTUSN]

11. In previous yrs I have participated in the joke-by-joke threads: 2nite I took a call in the middle

Not the President- who was great. The most detestable ever was Don sLIMUS; the top'o the heap was COLBERT. This dude was just meh.

[JohnnyRingo]

12. At least he didn't call anyone a hockey puck

I don't mind seeing a comedian take someone down a couple notches, but some of his put downs didn't have a punchline. They were just insults.

He's funnier on his own show. Maybe he flourishes with a writing staff.

[frazzled]

13. His timing was off, he was nervous, and he tried to pack in too many jokes too fast

I love Larry Wilmore usually, but I think he needed an editor tonight, and another drink. Some individual jokes were funny, but the routine kind of died. Of course, many a comedian has gone down following the president at these affairs over the past few years. He's a hard act to follow. And it's not because his jokes are funnier: he just has a killer delivery. He pauses, and he doesn't overkill by explaining a joke afterward, or repeating it several times for effect.

14. Although the zodiac killer repetition was funny

If you go to YouTube there is also documented proof that Cruz is an alien lizard hybrid. I seen it myself.

[frazzled]

17. I thought it was funny the first two times

Six or seven killed it. Sorry, I'm just talking structure here.

[gwheezie]

18. No problem

Obama was funnier than wilmore.

[Stinky The Clown]

15. Spot on,particularly your analysis of Obama.

[DJ13]

16. "Its nice to finally put a face to a name in the Panama Papers"

!!! !!!

[gwheezie]

19. I thought that was his best line

Very funny

[NuclearDem]

21. The Zodiac Killer bit had me in stitches.

[melman]

22. A few good lines

but overall he was really bad.

[TreasonousBastard]

23. He seemed nervous...

I love his show, but there he has an excellent cast and an audience backing him up.

Here, he seemed a little out of his element. Too bad, because he can be right on target.
