The Democratic National Committee likely made actress Julia Louis-Dreyfus of the sitcom Veep the host of the last night of its convention, the night Joe Biden is to accept the party's presidential nomination, with the thought of lightening the mood of the convention after days of serious warnings about the state of the country under President Trump.But Louis-Dreyfus's jokes and bits juxtaposed against still-serious programming left some political observers bewildered.Former presidential candidate Andrew Yang introduced Louis-Dreyfus, and they engaged in banter revolving around intentionally mispronouncing Vice President Mike Pence's name,
I find that none of the comedians are very funny, without the audience energy to feed off of.
If you add in the liberal agenda/anger, they are downright miserable to watch.

As Elaine, she was the weakest link on “Seinfeld”. She has not improved since then.

Liberal sitcoms wit plot lines like “So I’m dating a COMMUNIST, so what?” make me so adamantly opposed to their idea of humor.
It’s all left-wing agenda
Nothing funny
She’s a clown, but not in a funny way.
Nothing funny about liberals.
Just repulsive.

The DNC didn't pick her because she's funny. Her family's fortune is in the $$$ Billions and I'm sure the RATS expect a big contribution along the way. What say you, Crazy Bernie?

Oh yeah that is sooo funny mispronouncing a name that rhymes with fence. Boy Tucker Carlson is really living in their empty heads.

I guess she's famous, but I've never seen anything in which she was a cast member. And, yet, my life is good.

Micheal Richard's stand-up was funnier.

Julia is a star, and has the bank account to prove it. I don't know why she would do this. She has become more interested in politics, but she has a lot of learning to do, because everything she has learned so far is wrong.

What is really funny to me is that my wife and I had no idea what the joke was when we viewed Dreyfus. I had to read this post to find out than they did not like anyone mis-pronouncing Karmala's name. I am so confused than I just call her CARMEL.

Dreyfus played Elaine exceptionally well , it was natural, and that's no compliment.

You had your big moment and your weak crap DIDN'T FLY.
Should have come up with some catchy initials like AOC JLD sounds too much like jailed.

They treated their convention like an Oscar show with celebrities dressed up and trotted out to read stupid jokes that fall flat. It didn't work.

Julia Louis-Dreyfus has never been funny in anything she has ever appeared in except as the snob neighbor in the movie Christmas Vacation. The squirrel attacking her in a panic is hilarious, and I root for the squirrel every time.

Some people are more annoying than funny. Perhaps with a lot of wealth, it doesn't matter.

Shes very pretty, but thats it. Everything I've ever seen her in made me cringe. I wasn't even aware she was supposed to be a comedienne. I figured she was just someone who stretched out on the right casting couches.
