Chris Hardwick, host of the Internet-driven comedy show @midnight, took offense to Ted Nugent’s misogynistic post-debate defense of Donald Trump. Nugent said; “I often just turn on Fox to look at her (Megyn Kelly), sometimes when I’m loading my magazines, and I usually sit clothless on the couch, dropping hot brass on my stuff.” Try not to picture it in your mind’s eye. Hardwick responded to the crude remark saying, “Sounds like a line from his erotic novel “50 Shades of Red.”
Among many other things, Hardwick was unrestrained in joking about the pairing of Trump and Nugent, a pair so unsavory that they were destined to meet by magnetism. Chris also speculated about the relationship between Nugent and Kid Rock, in ways that you simply have to see. Mind, Hardwick is a very nice guy, but when people are this loathsome it does the heart good to see them pilloried, rather than adored by crazies or feared by Republicans.
Oh and don’t forget, with the addition of Trump, Nuge and Rock will have a foursome, because Ted Cruz latched onto Trump recently, proving politics makes strange bedfellows and odder golf foursomes.
With Trump’s legendary sensitivity, I bet my bubblegum money that Trump demands an apology from Hardwick by the end of the week.
Back to the game…Hardwick invited comedians Janet Varney, Craig Rowin and Rich Fulcher to speculate about what else Nugent does while lounging around.
