Samantha Bee Rounds Up Comedians For The Ultimate Roast Of Donald Trump

Samantha Bee Rounds Up Comedians For The Ultimate Roast Of Donald Trump

As part of her “Not the White House Correspondents Dinner” special on TBS, comedian Samantha Bee enlisted a slew of her peers to roast President Donald Trump.

Kumail Nanjiani, Retta, Patton Oswalt, Cameron Esposito, Billy Eichner and more hurled one-liners at Trump and his administration during Bee’s show, which aired at the same time as the annual White House Correspondents’ Dinner.

“You ever notice Betsy DeVos and a duffle bag of orphan’s bones are never in the same room together?” Eichner joked.

Nanjiani, one of the stars of HBO’s “Silicon Valley,” compared Trump to “that weird high school friend of yours that shows up at the party but doesn’t bring any beer, drinks everyone’s liquor, is weird to all the girls, and on the way out, doesn’t condemn hate crimes.”

Even comedy veteran Carl Reiner got in on the jokes, referencing his role in the film “Ocean’s 11.”

“Trump didn’t find the movie believable because it revolved around a casino that was actually making a profit,” Reiner said.
