The comedian Patton Oswalt returned to Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Wednesday to perform Mike Huckabee's Twitter jokes as if they were written for a stand-up routine.
Oswalt stitched together Huckabee's topical tweets – "zingers," as Kimmel kindly put it – with cheerfully unimaginative segues. "You guys watch the news?" he asked. "Speaking of the news, CNN claims it knows contents of sealed federal judge order. CNN usually breaks wind, not news." After the crowd groaned, Oswalt added his own annotation: "It's a fart joke."
Huckabee's material fared better when he went after Harvey Weinstein.
