Comics joke about Trump’s win at environmental benefit event
NEW YORK — Protecting the Earth may not be a laughing matter, nor, for many Americans, is the outcome of the presidential race.
Even so, comedians including Seth Meyers, John Oliver and George Lopez delivered jokes Wednesday night to benefit the Natural Resources Defence Council. And also to provide those in attendance at the New York event — clearly not a Donald Trump crowd — a bit of solace.
Meyers, host of NBC’s “Late Night,” even voiced a bit of hope for how the Trump administration might turn out.
“I have been wrong about him every step of the way,” Meyers said. Wrong that Trump wouldn’t run; wrong that he wouldn’t get the GOP nomination; wrong that he wouldn’t win.
