And in the moment that you addressed the Bernie or Bust people —— 
 
 I wasn’t going to say the “ridiculous” thing. They told us to stretch, and I just saw these people going: “Boo! Bernie!” Whatever. 
 
 When you’re a comic, and you do material that you mean in one way, and people take it in another — like years ago, I would do a lot of racial stuff, and I meant it in a very bleeding-heart liberal way, ultimately. By being the idiot.There were people who would take that literally, and we would call those mouth-full-of-blood laughs. They’re the laughs you don’t want. And those people cheering for Bernie when he came out — the whole place was so inspired; the whole room was amazing. But that little section of quote-unquote Bernie Bros or whatever, it’s the fans you don’t want. The fundamentalists of any group, including fans of Bernie or fans of Hillary or fans of anyone are a bummer. So that’s just a given. It’s not that big a deal. 
 
 Did you feel as if you were addressing them as a comedian would knock down a heckler? 
 
 No, no — it didn’t feel like heckles. It was such chaos. You can’t hear, really, anything that’s going on at all. It just is a really loud white noise. It’s too much to take in or hear any individual voices. It wasn’t a heckler return. It was something that’s been burbling in me. 
 
 Was there anything you wanted to do in your speech that the Democratic National Committee wouldn’t allow? 
 
 At the very beginning, when Al said, “I’m Al Franken, and this past year I’ve been hashtag-I’m With Her,” and I was going to say, “And I’m Sarah Silverman, and this past year I’ve been with the possibly agnostic Jew.” Because you know the Right is going to use these emails to try to separate them. It’s what they want so badly. I just felt like, let the comedian defuse it and just address the elephant in the room. But they were like, no. And they are right. They’re right. But I get so indignant. At least I’m aware, and awareness brings change, so maybe I’ll be less obnoxious. ||||| Go to Complete Biography »
