Obama was then followed by Comedy Central’s Nightly Show host Larry Wilmore, who seized the opportunity to roast politicians and perhaps even more so, the press, which, as could be expected, often prompted a nearly silent reaction from the crowd, though CNN’s Don Lemon did give him the finger at one point.
