Right? I finished it sincerely wondering if it was intended to be comedy or not. There wasn't a single coherent joke in ninety minutes. Unless I was supposed to laugh that he bought a fire station and turned it into a club?

    The best comedians can roast a president right to his face. The best presidents can hear the roast and laugh at it.
