During an interview with the Oxford Union on Tuesday, O’Brien was asked about Trump’s impact on comedy. He disagreed with the idea that Trump as president was good for comics, claiming that Trump’s habit of “talking crazy” made it difficult to pin him down for satire or parody.

He added that the opposite position, constantly attacking Trump for his comments, also undermines comedy.
