The Hotline Post-Inaugural Comedy Show
Celebrating the 55th Presidential Inaugural and the Birthday
of Will Rogers
On the evening following the 55th Presidential Inauguration, a team of
politicians, pundits, comedians and press gathered to honor Will Rogers
on what would have been his 125th birthday with an evening of sidesplitting
humor at the Hotline Comedy Show at the Warner Theatre on
January 22. Emcee Tony Snow, Christopher Hitchens, Ana Marie Cox
(The Wonkette), Rep. Brad Sherman, Will Durst, Matt Cooper and A.
Whitney Brown brought their own distinctive wit to the stage. Proceeds
from the show benefited the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the
Press, a leading advocate for journalists’ rights. The committee has
played a major role in virtually every significant press freedom case.
