3/10
Catered to specific audience

Warning: Spoilers
Warning contains spoilers. I will give credit where its due. I was grinning and smiling at parts, his impressions were excellent. However, his high points were canceled out by my disappointment in some of the jokes. Taking the place of Jon Stewart, an excellent comedian that many looked up too, he did twist the narrative with the Brit joke like with the migrant problem which I don't like. People need to read up on the migrant crisis happening in Europe, not dismiss it by calling those that oppose it as racist. Heck I'm Irish and I love a good Brit joke as much as the next but, the Brit jokes were overboard and well outright demeaning, but that would be fine IF you didn't only bash Brits. If we are gonna make political pieces like that, at least extend an olive branch. I laughed to the punch-line to the long drawn-out preachy African-Americans going back to Africa piece. The jokes are catered to make groups of people feel good about themselves. He catered a lot to women, getting very preachy, the p***y joke very outplayed. I love Obama, but again, catering to lovers of Obama, playing on popular opinions. Most of his pieces that weren't political at all were just boring. I had just watched Dave Chappelle's Netflix Special and no one was safe. Its sad that now comedians are not willing to hit hot button issues and instead well, bash men, whites, and racists (that are white and male) while holding everyone else on a pedestal. Comedy should bring people together, not bash one side and praise the other, bring equality, bash everyone Trev.
