CHRISTIAN TOTO: CNN’s ‘News’ Mocks Trumps, Joke Implodes on Cast.
Host Wood, passed over for “The Daily Show’s” hosting gig earlier this year, asked the panel, “What was the fake name of the head of the Taliban that Donald Trump cited during the debate.”
The answer? Abdul.
“He picked the most obvious name to make up for the head of the Taliban,” Black cracked as his fellow panelists cackled in glee. The show’s official X account pushed the clip out, secure in its comedy mileage and accuracy.
Except they got it wrong.
So just like CNN’s actual news shows then.
