Kellyanne Conway Did A Stand-Up Comedy Bit
For better or for worse, Kellyanne Conway has been in the news a lot lately — okay for worse.
The news pundit has a shiny position in Donald Trump's White House, as Counselor to the President and has already channeled her inner Trump with the media. On Sunday's Meet the Press, Conway defended White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer's refusal to look at pictures of the inauguration by saying Spicer was presenting "alternative facts." Subsequently, there was a surge in purchases of George Orwell's famous dystopian novel, Nineteen-Eighty-Four.
Conway also took some heat for stealing the Nutcracker's outfit for her dress at the inauguration.
But Conway can surely handle the criticism. She has the unique ability to laugh at herself and also put herself in the position to be laughed at. Conway has done stand-up comedy. In the 1990s, she did an 11-minute bit at what looks to be a charity function and the video has recently been unearthed.
Before you hide under a rock and tremble in fear, know that it's not the most horrible stand-up ever. It is pretty damn awful, though.
As detestable a woman as Conway is, I respect anyone who puts themselves in front of an audience and tries stand up.
Now that that's out of the way, let's talk about her terrible jokes. In one part, she tries to bite the hand that feeds her by ripping cable companies for their ratings. She says if Larry King's ex-wives watched the show, the ratings would triple. Can you hear how the crowd reacts? Yeah, me either. Crickets.
She also does this bit about "pundettes," like her, which is comically self-aware, but the delivery is garbage.
And then, if you managed to make it to the end, Conway does a sexy jazz number. It's... well you can guess how it'd be. It's revolting. I honestly had to shut my eyes while watching. I'm fine without the weeks of terrifying nightmares thank you very much.
Drop This Fact
Here's a fun fact for Conway herself: "Alternative facts" aren't facts, they're lies.
