Kellyanne Conway's Stand-Up Comedy Performance

Kellyanne Conway performed a stand-up comedy routine at a charity event, which the hosts critique for its poor delivery and scripted nature. One joke involved her being "accurately quoted" in a news article, which she compared to seeing Haley's Comet. Despite being a fan of her political work, the hosts agree that her attempt at comedy was unsuccessful and likely written by a professional joke writer.
