"I don't think anyone's off limits. I just think the angles at which you go with them have to be appropriate," Michelle Wolf said. "People can take a joke and reassign it to make it mean whatever they wanted to mean." Trump famously never attended the correspondence center while he was president because he got insulted before he was president. Biden showed up and was ready to laugh, including it at himself.
After a look inside a writers' strike that could upend Hollywood, Kara and Nayeema turn to today’s guest: writer and comedian Roy Wood Jr. Fresh off his performance at the White House Correspondents Dinner, Wood breaks down how he chose his jokes for the president, what (if anything) was considered off limits and why we need to start engaging with viewpoints we don’t like.
