Larry Wilmore on Tuesday gave a shout out to CNN anchor and frequent baffler of media consumers, Don Lemon.
The host of “The Nightly Show” rolled out a new feature entitled, “Calm Down, Don Lemon!” after Lemon covered the news of President Obama using the word “nigger” to make a point in Marc Maron’s podcast.
“Does this offend you, this word?” Lemon began on Monday night, holding up a giant sign bearing the word, “nigger.”
“Wow. You went literal race card, Don,” Wilmore said.
“By the way, that is a very impressive card! Kudos to the CNN prop closet just to have that at the ready!” he said. “Hey, can someone snag me that ‘nigger’ card? Yeah, we’re talking about race!”
