‘Well, with all due respect, sir,’ she added. “It takes someone to know someone.”
Louis-Dreyfus’ riffs represent a continuation of the more serious performances of the previous three nights of emcees – actresses Eva Longoria Bastón, Tracee Ellis Ross and Kerry Washington – and they mostly made references to various gaffs and controversies of today’s back office.
Louis-Dreyfus noted that she was envious of hosting the event in part to remind Americans that Biden “knew how to read.” White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany memorably announced in June that Trump ‘reads’.
Following a segment focusing on Biden’s faith, Louis-Dreyfus called for the Trump administration’s violent dispersal of largely peaceful Protestants outside the White House to pose for a photo opportunity with a Bible outside a nearby church. .
“Just remember,” she said, “Joe Biden goes to church so regularly that he does not even need tear gas and a bundle of federal troops to help him get there.”
And when Louis-Dreyfus urged viewers to text a code for Biden’s campaign to receive voter information, she pleaded for Trump’s fine that he had ‘aced’ a cognitive exam at Walter Reed Army Medical. Center.
“Just text ‘Vote’ to 30330 to learn more,” she said. “30330. It’s actually not that hard to remember. Watch. Person, woman, man, camera, TV, 30330. Anyone can do it. ”
In a more serious way, Louis-Dreyfus spoke about her 2017 battle with breast cancer and said that Biden, who had lost his son Beau Biden to cancer two years earlier, called her to offer support. “His real warmth and kindness about that call, man, I had to say, made me cry,” she said.
Democrats cheered Louis-Dreyfus’ jokes on Twitter, with Pennsylvania State Reporter Malcolm Kenyatta naming whether she “could get an Emmy for hosting a virtual convention?”
Robby Mook, the manager of former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign, considered the last night of convention programming to be ‘the best yet. And @OfficialJLD crushes it. ”
“Didn’t know how much I needed @officialJLD killing it last night!” wrote former President Planned Parenthood Cecile Richards. “This is the laugh that we all need at the moment!”
From “sneak to snoop,” Democratic Vice Presidential candidate Kamala Harris tweeted at Louis-Dreyfus, “you crush it!”
