“Mr. Vice President, my wife recently left me, she is divorcing me, what can I do to get her back?” said the young man, who turned out to be Jason Selvig of the comedy duo The Good Liars.

“What advice could you give somebody like me to get her back?” Selvig asked.

“I’ll talk to you afterwards okay?” Biden said, adding “I’m happy to, I promise I’ll talk to you afterwards, all right?”

“Well, could we just get this out right now because we’re, you know we’re live,” Selvig said.

“No, no we’re live,” Biden said, then cracked “I’m beginning to see why your wife left you.”

1. I was there and Joe handled those two so well

The line of the day.. was I see why your wife left you!! rofl.. There are a bunch of republican operatives (I think the number is 80) that has been sent out to disrupt our people. I do not know if these guys are part of that group..but it did not work out how they thought it would..

7. Glad You Made It There

I'm not glad that kind of silliness happened but I would have liked to have been there to see Mr. Biden react. It sounds like he handled it masterfully. Thanks for the on-the-ground report!

2. If they were trying to be funny they sure failed.

3. Publicity stunts and not very clever ones

An indication you failed as a comedian is when the person who you try to prank and disrupt is funnier than you.

4. Biden is sharp as a tack.

The response was appropriate and darn funny.
