I heard Joel McHale’s act was terrible and disjointed. I guess anyone can become nervous at such events. Joel is used to performing skits in front of a camera crew or in smaller settings. He is one of the very few comics under 40 that I know of who I can tolerate for any length of time. Most the White House comics are very mean, nasty people. A few years back, a black female ‘comic’ said she hopes Rush Limbaugh dies from cancer. Obama almost fell off his cushioned chair laughing at the prospect.
He was either given or wrote material that was plainly out of place...he had zero timing and was inadequate for the job. that in addtition to having really poor taste and being rather confused .
...and average democrack....I suppose
