Joanna Coles and Samantha Bee sit down with the man who gave Donald Trump the insult which has got under his skin for decades: “Short-fingered vulgarian.” Kurt Andersen, who edited Spy magazine in the 80s, dishes on how he went toe-to-toe with Trump when he was just a property developer—and skewered the millionaire’s son from Queens every time. Andersen spills his theory of why Trump married Melania and reveals why the president couldn’t bully Canada’s new leader, Mark Carney, in the Oval Office. And Met Gala guest-turned-skeptic Joanna gives her thoughts on the celebrity night while Sam reveals what icon she has embroidered into her underwear.

My description of trump:
Liar, Fraud, Rapist, Coward, Traitor.
I like it.
I love your show….as a real fashion professional I must say that the Met Gala has become over run w/ non fashion people….they have nothing to do w/ actual style & fashion…they are just celebrities needing to be seen in clothes that are not fashion just strange costumes….the Met needs money for the costume collection which is important but they need to get rid of these wannabes and B listers…they are Bruni ng the reputation of the Gala, .they are not fashionable and there is no merit in what the say, do or wear. Nothing to see here…I wish but nope…zip zero nada.
“Short fingered vulgarian" – – priceless.
Like Britain is a good place to live for the average citizen in London.
How disgraceful. You people have no shame. So mean.Like teenagers. Constantly aiming to destroy.
Dems are violent and constant liars. What ever it takes to get a vote.
Be careful what you wish for…just may get it….Socialism!
Samantha Bee….missing but back with that winning personality….
( btw- if I were Kurt, I would've ritually disemboweled myself before the first question )
Sfv thank you
24:14 guest microphone finally starts working
This is spam
This certainly contains no news content. It is just absurd propaganda trying to demonize and dehumanize Americans.
BOB, the big orange baby sums him up nicely.
Evil Geniuses is a great book.
SFV — "Short-fingered vulgarian" ? … now, who could that be?
7:28 – What is "Enormous Sturman Drang" …. huh?
Really not so impressed with this gaggling girlfriend banter. Poor Kurt Anderson, what is he even doing there?
Immediate impression: Why is this pretentious lady trying so hard to be funny? (Spoiler–She isn't.)
Trump has 1 thing
The most anticipated obituary.
Best Trump nickname is Off Brand Butt Plug
Jesus wept !
I prefer baby poop yellow oompaloompa
