Samantha Bee & Allison Silverman: New Yorker Festival
Samantha Bee and Colbert Report producer Allison Silverman were awesome as per ush on a panel about Political Humor at the New Yorker Festival on Saturday. An audience member asked them a question about whether it is difficult to be a woman in comedy, and Allison responded, "Reading that Christopher Hitchens piece [about how women aren't funny] , I didn't get upset at all. It was just an old man yelling at cars from his yard." Later, when asked if she worried that satire made people apathetic about politics, Samantha said she didn't really worry about it. "My potty mouth, my dirty mind, that's what informs me. I only worry about being funny and original."
