Here are McHale’s 10 best jokes:
1). Mr. President—or, as Paul Ryan would call you, another inner city minority taking advantage of the federal government to feed and house your family.
2). E is also home to the Kardashians, who are also Republicans, and I know that, because they’re always trying to screw black people.
3). CNN is desperately searching for something they’ve been missing for months: their dignity.
4). C-SPAN is like one of those Paranormal Activity movies. It’s just grainy shots of empty rooms interrupted by images of people you’re pretty sure died a few years ago.
5). As it stands right now, the Republican nominee will either be Jeb Bush, Rand Paul, or a bag of flour with Ronald Reagan’s face drawn on it.
6). Mitch McConnell said his number one priority was to get the president out of office. So Mitch, congrats on being just two years away from realizing your goal.
7). I am a big fan of that lesbian on MSNBC, Chris Hayes. He’s great.
8). At this point CNN is like the Radio Shack in a sad strip mall. You don’t know how it stayed in business this long. You don’t know anybody who shops there, and they just fired Piers Morgan.
9). The relationship between Washington and Hollywood has been a long and fruitful one. You give us tax credits for film and television production, and in return we bring much needed jobs to hard working American cities like Vancouver, Toronto, and Vancouver again.
10. It’s an honor to be here in Washington, D.C., the city that started the whole crack-smoking mayor craze.
