BHO's routine was head and shoulders above that feeble effort by Wilmore. I usually like the guy, but last night was pretty much a "fail" for Larry.

By the look on her face and in her body language, you could tell that Michelle was totally grossed out by Wilmore's over-the-edge schtick.

Obama's job is to poke, prod, and make people laugh. And he did that--he got his zings back at a few people, and he got everyone rolling. The job of the HIRED GUN, though, isn't to do that--his (or her, but it's been a while...) job is to AFFLICT THE COMFORTABLE. And oh, he DID. He didn't spare the horses--when I saw Don Lemon flip him the bird for calling him an "alleged" journalist (very fair criticism) I knew he'd hit a homer. And his BIG FINISH, about the Quarterback to POTUS? That resonated.

pure tedium and his awkward implication that V.P. Biden plays housemaid and lackey to the Obamas to be just plain offensive.

My reference is always Colbert's epic smack down in 2006--done with rapier-sharp wit and surgical finesse.

Wilmore's routine was like a sledge-hammer bludgeoning by comparison.

I didn't "like" everything he said, but I appreciated his POV even as I didn't "agree" with all his comments.

Even though I'm definitely looking forward to Hillary as our president, I will miss Obama. Only he could deliver that line with such skill.

“You might have heard that someone jumped the White House fence last week, but I have to give Secret Service credit — they found Michelle, brought her back, she’s safe back at home now. It’s only nine more months, baby. Settle down.”

I have to know who's his comedy writer..

“Someone jumped the White House fence last week. But I give the Secret Service credit. They found Michelle and brought her back home. Just 9 more months, baby. Settle down.”

Gracias, savalez~ I wonder if Michelle was cracking up in the audience .. I bet she was! Rofl
