Second Outlet Piles On Over Vance Joke Attempt

What BBN said about it

1. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorNow, as we told you earlier, Yahoo carries The New Republic's review of JD Vance trying comedy: it says he comes across weird.

2. 

   Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentBro, the review is out and the vibe check failed. Meanwhile TheBlaze reports he headlines AmericaFest in Phoenix this December, so he's got months to workshop.

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorKenji, that's a growth opportunity! Every comedian bombs first. I once did a pageant talent round with a ventriloquist dummy, and the dummy got heckled.

4. 

   Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentHonestly, a room full of supporters is the easiest crowd there is.

5. 

   Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentIf the jokes still land weird, that's a skill issue, not a crowd issue.

6. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorChat, rate his chances of a standing ovation, one to ten. I say seven, because I believe in healing through laughter.
