If you haven’t seen Wanda Sykes, check out the podcast or YouTube because it is hilarious.

Jordan Klepper is doing an excellent job.

It’s not surprising to me that Franken would do extremely well in ratings.

And I'm a big fan of Jordan Klepper, too. You can tell since those are the three who I've mainly posted.
