How Amy Sedaris would feed George W. Bush for dinner

[awhazlett]

I don't get it

[sailingfms]

I think she says, "Whatever I would feed them, it would have to be 'to go'"

[iamabirdofprey]

Is that David Rakoff with her?

[DavisMcDavis]

Yes!

[CandidRefreshment]

It never ceases to amaze me how an audience will instinctively laugh, on cue, regardless of your material... so long as its reasonably understandable, and follows a ceratin comedic flow.  That being said, i believe this is one of those times when the audience was laughing more for the pure joy of laughter. This skit was horrible

[DavisMcDavis]

They were laughing at my humorous question, which was "What food would you serve George W. Bush, and what pills would you serve his wife?" That's comedy gold, Jerry - GOLD!

And in Amy's defense, it wasn't really a skit, it was actually more of a Q&A with lots of extra props.

[CandidRefreshment]

i have to admit. i felt a little guilty saying what i said without knowing who Amy Sedaris was. I took the next couple hours searching for more about her, and let me tell ya, i was so wrong. She is by far the most naturally funny woman on earth. I ate my words. I even wrote her an e-mail via her fanclub president.

[garzaeduardo]

i guess being a killjoy on cue is something you would understand.

15....confused!

[seeyouincanada]

thanks for the video! but sorry, what exactly does she say she'd feed him? bever... something? thanks.

The guy cut her off and asked her if he could throw away something right when she was about to say which pills she would give to Laura Bush. The guy should not be there if he is going to interupt the star's monologue.

[DavisMcDavis]

I think we can safely assume it would have been more of the Xanax that Laura Bush is so clearly hopped-up on already.

[simonjeste]

would that go good with "Humble Pie"?

[barb99999]

DavisMcDavis: It does appear that Mrs. Bush is

[over]medicated, doesn't it? Gotta feel bad for her: married to the worst man in the world, a stupid arrogant poser who's working hard to bring about a global war -- and apparently all in the service of refusing to admit that he's been wrong! Goddam! what a shit.... and she, a humane intelligent woman [if craven]... It's gotta hurt.

[HunterMann]

Feed Bush his own b.s. back to him.

[purplestar143]

y is she sitting in a wheelchair?

[DavisMcDavis]

She was pretending she had broken her leg, which gave her an excuse to order David Rakoff around. She had a story that she'd broken her leg while on tour for the book, and David had been summoned to Chicago, and had been her helper/slave ever since.

[GracyGirl]

I was there!!!  That's so cool that you recorded it. I thought I was breaking the rules by just taking pictures.

[hustler3066]

the only thing i love more than amy sedaris is davismcdavis's blog ...actually i love her more but you really rock davis

[shortylongpants]

Well if you asked me how I would feed Bush I would say "Call him off the monkey bars, smack his bare ass, stick him in a high chair, and peel him a banana."

[Ryan9145X]

cyanide?

[shortylongpants]

DavisMcDavis it is Jess from the FPH group. Was this the question you asked Amy?

[DavisMcDavis]

Yes, that was my question. I noticed when she asked another one from our row so I was ready when she got to mine...

[craftybeaver]

Ooooh! Did you take any other video or photos? (I saw 2 pictures on your blog). I'm kicking myself for not taking any pictures. I didn't want to use the flash, but I knew that probably nothing would turn out without it, so I just didn't take any in hopes that other people would post their photos online, haha.
