The comedian talks her new Netflix special It’s Great to Be Here, Louis C.K. and Dave Chappelle, and that White House Correspondents’ Dinner
I’m not Bill Maher, and I’m not doing jokes about a sandwich order. I do talk about things that affect me socially that I observe as being things that are affecting society right now, but I think I mistakenly get put in the “political comedian” category as someone who’s going to do a bunch of Trump jokes.
Even Bob Woodward, of Woodward and Bernstein, sat on news of Trump saying he thought Covid was real in February of 2020 for his book release. To sell more books. I think it’s aging very well, and I am still very happy that I did it and that I got to do it. I think there are a lot of people who didn’t even watch the set and just listened to what the media said I did and then have this vitriolic hate for me without actually knowing what I said. To be honest, they maybe never would have been fans anyway, and I don’t necessarily want them as fans, but I do think they’re missing out on some good comedy.
I don’t think he’s saying that one can’t exist, or that it’s one or the other. I do believe he’s saying that both can exist, and there’s no reason they can’t. But I also think he’s trying to be a voice for people that are being ignored as well. I think it was a very black-and-white approach that they took, when in fact it was an incredibly gray subject matter that required a lot of conversations that we literally weren’t allowed to have. You either fell into two groups: you supported #MeToo or you didn’t, and by didn’t support it that meant you were some incredible misogynist. I think there’s a pretty big middle ground there.
