Trump played for a demographic he’s been struggling with (the first time a Chopped judge has ever hit a contestant)

September 2020

“While Joe Biden courted Hispanic voters in Florida by playing the 2017 smash hit Despacito on his phone (for context: the candidate was introduced at the event by its singer, Luis Fonsi), Trump played for a demographic he’s been struggling with: people who don’t want to die from coronavirus.” —Trevor Noah

“In a close senate race in South Carolina, Jaime Harrison is edging close to Trump stalwart Lindsey Graham in part by working to mobilize upwards of 400,000 unregistered voters of color. His friends say he makes a red velvet cake so good, apparently, he could sell it. Unlike my red Velveeta cake, which is actually the first time a Chopped judge has ever hit a contestant.” —Samantha Bee

“In Maine, Susan Collins’ turn as a political pariah has been a long time coming. Over and over she’s teased us with the hint that she might be the only Republican with a conscience, only to vote in line with the rest of the GOP. It’s like Lucy promising to hold the football for Charlie Brown, and then when he runs to kick it, Lucy puts an alleged sexual predator on the Supreme Court.” —Samantha Bee

“A magisterial collection. An emotional roller coaster. Soon to be a cult classic. 

A combination of Bukowski’s Last Night On Earth and Orwell’s 1984.”
