Hollywood takes shots at Trump while celebrating Conan O’Brien amid Kennedy Center shake-up
Fox News
The Mark Twain Prize for American Humor event at the Kennedy Center comes after President Donald Trump removed the Kennedy Center's leadership in February, appointing himself as the board's chair.
Comedian Sarah Silverman took aim at Trump several times on Sunday at the Mark Twain event, specifically citing a 2016 appearance of hers on Conan on TBS where she dressed up as Nazi leader Adolf Hitler. Diana Stancy is a politics reporter with Fox News Digital covering the White House.
"They wrote a bit where Conan interviews Hitler, who comes on because he's embarrassed that he's being compared to Donald Trump," Silverman said.
"I am actually not an obvious choice for Hitler. I mean, I am an obvious choice for Hitler," said Silverman, who is Jewish. "Not an obvious choice to play Hitler. But they chose me, and it's this way of thinking that makes Conan great again. I just really miss the days when you were America's only orange a--hole."
