Al Smith Dinner Overview, Trump and Gaffigan Performances
The 79th annual Al Smith Memorial Dinner took place in New York, featuring a traditional roast format to benefit Catholic charities. Donald Trump attended in person while Kamala Harris sent a video message; the hosts discuss the performances of Trump and comedian Jim Gaffigan, noting the "white tie" protocol of the event.
Comedian Jim Gaffigan delivered a series of jokes at the Al Smith dinner, targeting both political parties. Highlights included quips about the DNC replacing Joe Biden, Mayor Eric Adams' legal troubles, and the "secret Trump voters" within the Biden family.
The Golden Globes featured Jim Gaffigan making a joke about not being a pedophile, which drew comparisons to Ricky Gervais's past hosting performances. "Oppenheimer" and "Barbie" were the night's big winners, though the hosts argue that mainstream award shows are losing relevance. They also criticize the practice of giving podcasting awards to repurposed public radio shows.
