92Y Podcast: The Borowitz Report: Obama’s First 100 Days

Last night at the Y, award-winning comedian and satirist Andy Borowitz (Borowitz Report), and a stellar panel including Hendrick Hertzberg of The New Yorker, journalist Jonathan Alter of Newsweek and comedian Judy Gold took an irreverent look at President Obama's first 100 days in office. Andy starts the evening off with a hilarious monologue and in case you think the Y crowd doesn't appreciate "blue" (several meanings implied here) humor, Andy is pretty liberal with the f-bombs. Just a warning. You can listen to the whole program below.

    Brilliant!  Wish I had been there.  When will Andy be back?

    I loved his opening monologue.  The thing about Obama being “cool for a president” was hysterical.  Also, Judy Gold should have her own night - she was hilarious but there was not enough of her.

    Loved his column for years, had no idea he was such a great standup.
