Fox News:喜剧演员如何在过度敏感的美国进行表演(1)

I want you to look at point number two, bullet point number two, second sentence. Ambassador Taylor recalls that Mr. Morrison told Ambassador Taylor that I told Mr. Morrison that I conveyed this message to Mr. Yermak on September 1, 2019, in connection with Vice President Pence's visit to Warsaw and a meeting with President Zelensky. This is what I sound like when I explain the Kardashians to my dad. I love that. The comedians having a field day with the impeachment hearings. You got to laugh at least once in a while. Right? No doubt Saturday Night Live is gonna have a field day with it, as well, with Schiff and Jordan Paredes, perhaps. We'll see. But tonight, we take you to Boston where famous comedians are performing and talking about their work in a divided America and often hypersensitive country and how they can bring people together with a few laughs. From impeachment, heated rhetoric, outrage culture, and ugliness online to super-charge political correctness. For comedians trying to tell jokes, now it can feel like walking on egg shells or worse. Now is like a minefield, you know, unless you are talking about toaster or airplane food, it's like, nobody can handle it. 

Yet, actor Denis Leary, well known for his quick irreverent comedy, now says he is determined to make America laugh again. Listen, I think people laugh if it's funny. You know, so if it's funny, they laugh. And political stuff is -- that's whatever territory you want to fall down on, I've always been telling it from both sides. When the election happened in 2016, I was making fun of Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. Leary's latest book urges Americans to stop being so partisan and warns that we are becoming a nation of political crybabies. All of my Democratic friends have completely lost their sense of humor, complaining about Trump and wanting get impeached. My Republican friends have lost their sense of humor arguing with them. All this racism and sexism, all this stuff that was brought up in the during the election and since. I wanted to, first of all, make America laugh again about it. Leary gathers comics annually in his native Boston for an event called comics come home raising big money via sellout crowds at Boston T.D. Garden for hockey great Cam Neely's Foundation for cancer care. In my house where I was brought up, if you couldn't laugh at the kitchen table or laugh at yourself, you didn't get along very well. But while the show dust off are proof that people still love to laugh, backstage, the events headliners admit challenges. It's so divisive. And you know, I've got problems of my own.
