Comedian Larry Wilmore Bombed At The White House Correspondents’ Dinner

The consensus is in. Larry Wilmore completely bombed at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner Saturday night. It was painful. It’s like someone told him, “Hey! You should make a bunch of racially charged jokes! Everyone loves that stuff! It’s so appropriate!” And he was all, “Totes! This is going to be fun!”

Needless to say, he jumped right in.

“Welcome to negro night, or as Fox News will report, ‘two thugs interrupt elegant dinner in DC,” Wilmore said.

Knee slapper.

At one point, he made racial jokes about Obama’s white hair. Apparently, Obama’s hair is “so white, it tried to punch me at a Trump rally.”

Wait– there’s more!

“The president’s hair is so white, it keeps saying ‘all lives matter,’” he added.

At one point, he talked about Ben Carson’s defense of Jackson on the $20 and was all, “What did that j*gaboo say?”

Um, alrighty. Quick! How about another black joke?

“some of our finest black journalists are here tonight. Don Lemon is here too” @larrywilmore #WHCD2016

And he closed his remarks by saying “Yo Barry, you did it, my n*gga.”

That’s how he sent the President of the United States off. That actually happened. In real life.

I’m not the only one who thought the entire thing was a disaster.

Wilmore used the n-word, the j-word, and called Cruz the Zodiac Killer about 20 times. That was . . . something.

#whcd After 20 years of these WH dinners, I've never seen a comic bomb as bad as Larry Wilmore. Man, dying hard on stage. Historically bad.

Larry Wilmore is bombing so hard the Secret Service is about to jump on Obama to protect him from shrapnel

Larry Wilmore's material is the closest the Secret Service has ever let a bomb get to a sitting President.

Wolf Blitzer looked like he was going to kill Larry Wilmore.

Speaking of, Blitzer had a face of stone.

Just look at how the #WHCD got pissed at how Larry Wilmore asked why Wolf Blitzer is still on TV. So fitting. pic.twitter.com/mbFSiUTjHg

Gosh, it was painful.

@EyeOnPolitics @instapundit Forget waterboarding. Make them watch a Larry Wilmore monologue.

So we end the #WHCD by touting the historical implications of 1st black president… and we use the N-word. Not cool @larrywilmore

Larry Wilmore BOMBED so badly, after shocks are expected! Called Pressie the N word too. Classless.

— Trumpwatcher (@Trumpwatcher) May 1, 2016

Classless indeed.

Pres. Obama dropping the mic. Larry Wilmore dropping the "n" bomb. Don Lemon flipping the bird. What a time, indeed.
