Julia Louis-Dreyfus has landed several big jokes in the opening minutes of the final night of the Democratic convention.
Louis-Dreyfus reminded America that Joe Biden knows how to read and he reads:

Later she added, “Just remember, Joe Biden goes to church so regularly that he doesn’t even need tear gas and a bunch of federalized troops to help him get there.

The idea of putting Julia Louis-Dreyfus on the final night of the convention was a brilliant idea. The Democratic convention has done a great job of putting on an entertaining convention in an unprecedented time.
Julia Louis-Dreyfus is crushing it by adding humor without overshadowing the night and making the Democratic convention a good time that will stand in contrast to what is certain to be Trumpian carnival of fear, division, gloom, and doom next week.
