i found a clip of it monday and was very impressed, not because it was funny, because if you watch any episode of the report you know he can be funny, but because he stayed in that character and made the jokes that he did despite some very cold audience response. congratulations on being done.

In this sense, I felt like he was at the top of his comedic game.
