Roast Jokes Are In for 2024
Cecily Strong cut through the cringe at the Comics for Kamala Zoom by being mean.
Ben Stiller said, “It’s beautiful when she laughs.” Kathryn Hahn claimed, “It’s been Kamala all along.” Nick Offerman sang a parody of “God Bless the USA.” John Stamos appeared alongside Matt Friend, who was doing an impression of Howard Stern. Strong, a Saturday Night Live alum, wrote the jokes with current and former SNL “Weekend Update” writers Katie Rich, Josh Patten, and Pete Schultz. Strong notably appeared on “Update” in 2021 as Goober the Clown to Trojan Horse in a discussion of abortion, and her jokes here reflected her long-standing reproductive-rights advocacy: “There is speculation that Trump is unhappy with Vance and is thinking about getting rid of him, but he better hurry because it’s been six weeks.” It’s funny, it exists in the context what came before, and most of all, it’s barbed in a way that’s reflective of the meaner, savvier campaign that Harris is running.
