Michelle Wolf on the White House correspondents dinner - The Russell Howard Hour

now it's time to my special guest tonight's guest is one of my favorite comedians she caused a global sensation after she delivered an incredible set at the Correspondents Dinner attacking Trump and his White House here we are the White House Correspondents Dinner like the porn star says when she's about to have sex with the Trump let's get this over with last night's White House correspondence that are turned into a travesty when comedian Michelle wolf turned in a crude and cursing performance I don't think she noticed she's not here and I know I know I would drag him here myself but it turns out the President of the United States is the one [ __ ] you're not allowed to grab [Applause] [Music] curtsey yeah did you do that because you're in England yeah yeah what'd you do all right yeah what an amazing year you've had massive it's been interesting yeah yeah so for people who don't know what the White House Correspondents Dinner is could you explain so the the the pressroom that you see if you ever watched press briefing all the reporters in there are part of the White House Correspondents Association so they have a dinner every year that they called nerd prom where they all go they let down their non-existent hair and they eat dinner and like there's a comedian that comes up that whose sole job is to roast the president and the people there that is the job they are hired to do and and then that's it yeah I'm now because of your foreign performance not just not yeah I I will also say the only like Trump hasn't gotten to the Correspondents Dinner the two years he's been in office yeah the only other time a president missed the Correspondents Dinner was when Ronald Reagan and he had just gotten shot and he called in from the hospital really so when I say terms of [ __ ] I mean he's a [ __ ] what's fascinating about that is that you could argue that when Obama roasted Trump that that's kind of what led to a lot of this that's what a lot of people say yeah yeah yeah it was the same year Seth Meyers did it yeah and they say between the two of them they really got him to run well he had we had Richard Branson on the show and apparently Trump showed Branson apropos of nothing like a list of the 12 people he was gonna get even with and that was like a year before who else is on the list this is it but it's that bizarre thing about this these two billionaires is oh yeah that's my list of all the people I'm gonna get when I'm big he's like what the [ __ ] is wrong with you you said it was deeply unsettling Wow and that's crazy because you're a billionaire yeah just have them killed yeah yeah just buy an island like Richard Branson unita mo ver and then they get lost what you like being in the middle of a global news shitstorm because your set was so great thank you III think universally beloved yeah I think everyone loved it yeah yeah anyone with a brain loved it yeah but a lot of people without brains what's the key people really got creative in some of the ways they kind of went after me why what did they say there's this one all right group that they wrote that they've made a fake news article that I had been pled guilty to bestiality which I have to give them a lot of credit on this first of all they looked up all this personal information Bobby put it in like my hometown newspaper which is like a newspaper that goes out to like 3,000 people and I had all these facts about like where I went to school and but the most interesting part about it is that after pleading guilty I was only fined $1,500 and I was like well if you're gonna [ __ ] a dog that's not that much less here excellent joke about dog [ __ ] and currency yeah but this is the phenomenal thing about fake news is I mean I know you and yet I looked that was I was like I don't think she I don't think she's I know she's got a high-pitched voice but yeah maybe it was just an accident maybe I started talking and then all these dogs came around and I was like where are we going to with all these dog well how did that like is it just hilarious or two people obviously think it's ridiculous well I think what did you feel the did you feel like you had to if you walk around in New York and you saw somebody walking a dog do you have to go hey well yesterday I was in line at TSA to fly over here and a bomb dog sniffed my crotch and I was like still got it being being trolled by the president I mean when he tweeted at me I don't have Twitter on my phone or anything so I was out at a show in Brooklyn and I got all these text messages that the president had tweeted about me and I was like well I can't do anything about this I'm I'm like 45 minutes from my apartment we've actually got the tweet we've got the tweet that was sent to you from the president so-called comedian Michelle wolf bombs so badly last year the White House Correspondents Dinner that this year for the first time in decades they will have an author instead of a comedian good first step in comeback of a dying evening and tradition maybe I will go and this is the brilliant response bet you'd be on my side if I had killed a journalist a funny strange that the White House will defend a [ __ ] grabber they get upset if a woman tells jokes about them yeah it's a real weird line to be on yeah I and I also I also think it's like if because I took I think part of it might be because I'm a lady I said [ __ ] and they were like how dare she yeah yeah that's only for men to set men struggle saying it I think put like particular here but it's a very American what [ __ ] yeah but you guys since they can't hear and that's amazing I prayed [ __ ] for cutting any day that's a new store I'm opening yeah what I find baffling about you is that like a that somebody would critique you but also it's also a she's a typical feminist comic I don't think you're a feminist comic stretching it isn't it yeah I am you know I want women to be equal but like I like I don't know if you guys heard this story a couple weeks ago in America a bunch of pipe bombs were sent to like various different people ex-presidents Robert DeNiro you know the regulars and before they figured out who did it there was like a good part of me that was like I hope it's a woman okay like I want women to be equal I want us to be just as good as men but also just as shitty you know like get out there women be evil plus I think a pipe bomb from a woman is gonna I mean it's gonna be a nicer pipe bomb the packaging for these bombs was for anything you get a pipe bomb from a woman you're like this wrapping blew me away [Music] um let's talk about your your special which I believe it's still available it's on HBO yeah are you think it's on sky now you can't get it on sky try finding it yesterday and I've got a search thing and I was trying to type your name and I couldn't find it and my dogs not very well so it was a tricky evening well sorry about your dog eyes [Applause] well you're you're pissing on the screen but it's called that nice lady and again I don't really I don't think of you as a nice lady I mean that is a sign of respect yeah that's fair that's a fair assessment of me yeah I should be called funny huh see ya a little bit of an [ __ ] no yeah I you know I think people you know like they see like a woman that's a comic and they think they're gonna hear like certain things out of her yeah and I kind of try to not be that yeah um like I love to bit you had an amazing bit about the it was a little while I think was last year the free the nipple campaign on Instagram yeah I am yeah cuz we have our hobbies women like they wanted to free the nipple on Instagram and I was just like can we focus we focus here like I mean like some some women want to be charged and stuff and get paid the same and the other women were like I want to free the nipple like honestly like I just I just think if you focus your attention on one thing you're much more likely to get it accomplished yeah so like all women voted and we decided that like freeing the nipple is what we really wanted to do I get on board I'm a team player yeah but like I just can't believe it was a woman's idea sounds like a man infiltrated a meeting and it was like we gotta get these nipples are you on tour are you touring here I am I'm gonna be touring here next summer how do you find you find a difference gigging over here to America because when I gig in the States is just joyous like the fact that they clap like but it's so funny like but as you walk on this stand up yeah would never happen here like like it's so funny they're so happy to see you I guess British people there's that comment I don't mean this to come off negative but you guys are a bit [ __ ] you'll be like prove it again monkey again I love with your go yeah that's awesome I love that lady I'm the wonderful Michelle you
